A formula for the second cohomology of two-step nilpotent groups

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

In [5], the notion of polynomial cocycles is used to give an expression for the second cohomology of T-groups with coefficients in a torsion-free nilpotent module. We make this expression concrete in the case of a T-group G of nilpotency class <=2 and coefficients in a trivial G-module, using a Lie algebra associated to the group. This approach allows us to construct explicit cocycles representing the elements of the second cohomology group.
