The Cohomology of Finite p-Groups

We present here the cohomology rings of all 2-, 3-, 5- and 7-groups of order at most 128, of all but 6 groups of order 243, and of some sporadic examples of order up to 1024. Please see Simon King's collection of cohomology rings of arbitrary finite groups as well.

For each cohomology ring, we provide dimension and depth, the Poincaré series, the a-invariants, a minimal generating set and minimal algebraic relations between the generators.

We also provide some background information on our computational approach. A more detailed account of the underlying theory is provided in our preprint that is published in J. of Algebra 325 (2011), pp. 352-363.

The results were obtained with the optional Sage package p_group_cohomology (Documentation and Installation).

The package currently is in a transitional phase. We provide here the sources of modular_resolution. Together with Cython and Python wrappers in the Sage library, it will soon be a replacement of the old package.
