Cohomology Rings of Finite Groups: With an Appendix: Calculations of Cohomology Rings of Groups of Order Dividing 64

Group cohomology has a rich history that goes back a century or more. Its origins are rooted in investigations of group theory and number theory, and it grew into an integral component of algebraic topology. In the last thirty years, group cohomology has developed a powerful con­ nection with finite group representations. Unlike the early applications which were primarily concerned with cohomology in low degrees, the in­ teractions with representation theory involve cohomology rings and the...
