Cohomology and group actions.
Let be a prime and let be a -group of matrices in , for some integer . In this paper we show that, when , a certain subgroup of the cohomology group is trivial. We also show that this statement can be false when . Together with a result of Dvornicich and Zannier (see [2]), we obtain that any algebraic torus of dimension enjoys a local-global principle on divisibility by .
In this paper integer cohomology rings of Artin groups associated with exceptional groups are determined. Computations have been carried out by using an effective method for calculation of cup product in cellular cohomology which we introduce here. Actually, our method works in general for any finite regular complex with identifications, the regular complex being geometrically realized by a compact orientable manifold, possibly with boundary.
We show that the second group of cohomology with compact supports is nontrivial for three-dimensional systolic pseudomanifolds. It follows that groups acting geometrically on such spaces are not Poincaré duality groups.
We modify tools introduced in [Daly D., Vojtěchovský P., Enumeration of nilpotent loops via cohomology, J. Algebra 322 (2009), no. 11, 4080–4098] to count, for any odd prime , the number of nilpotent loops of order up to isotopy, instead of isomorphy.
