Homotopy Theoretic Methods in Group Cohomology
by: Dwyer, W.G., University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, USA, Henn, H.-W.,
Université Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg
CRM Barcelona - Advanced Courses in Mathematics
This book looks at group cohomology with tools that come from homotopy theory. These tools
give both decomposition theorems (which rely on homotopy colimits to obtain a description of
the cohomology of a group in terms of the cohomology of suitable subgroups) and global
structure theorems (which exploit the action of the ring of topological cohomology operations).
The approach is expository and thus suitable for graduate students and others who would like
an introduction to the subject that organizes and adds to the relevant literature and leads to the
frontier of current research. The book should also be interesting to anyone who wishes to learn
some of the machinery of homotopy theory (simplicial sets, homotopy colimits, Lannes' Tfunctor,
the theory of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra) by seeing how it is used in a
practical setting.
