Homology and cohomology via the partial group algebra


Abstract in English

We study partial homology and cohomology from ring theoretic point of view via the partial group algebra $mathbb{K}_{par}G$. In particular, we link the partial homology and cohomology of a group $G$ with coefficients in an irreducible (resp. indecomposable) $mathbb{K}_{par}G$-module with the ordinary homology and cohomology groups of $G$ with in general non-trivial coefficients. Furthermore, we compare the standard cohomological dimension $cd_{ mathbb{K}}(G)$ (over a field $mathbb{K}$) with the partial cohomological dimension $cd_{ mathbb{K}}^{par}(G)$ (over $mathbb{K}$) and show that $cd_{ mathbb{K}}^{par}(G) geq cd_{ mathbb{K}}(G)$ and that there is equality for $G = mathbb{Z}$.
