“Productive elements in group cohomology”

by

ERGÜN YALÇIN

BİLKENT University

Abstract: I will give the definition of a productive
element in group cohomology and describe a new
approach to productive elements using Dold's Postnikov decomposition theory for projective chain
complexes. The motivation for studying productive elements comes from multiple
complexes which is an important construction for studying varieties of modules
in modular representation theory.
