Structure of the cohomology ring

The computation was based on 5 stability conditions for H*(SmallGroup(324,39); GF(3)).

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 3 and depth 2.
  • The depth exceeds the Duflot bound, which is 1.

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 34 using the Hilbert-Poincaré criterion.
  • However, the last relation was already found in degree 27 and the last generator in degree 16.
  • The following is a filter regular homogeneous system of parameters:
    1.  − b_4_0·b_8_04 − b_4_03·b_8_03 − b_4_09 + b_8_03·c_12_0 + b_4_02·b_8_02·c_12_0
         + c_12_03, an element of degree 36
    2. b_16_43 − b_8_06 + b_4_02·b_8_05 + b_4_04·b_8_04 + b_4_06·b_8_03
         + b_4_03·b_8_03·c_12_0 − b_4_05·b_8_02·c_12_0 − b_8_03·c_12_02
         + b_4_02·b_8_02·c_12_02 − b_4_03·c_12_03, an element of degree 48
    3. b_8_0, an element of degree 8
  • A Duflot regular sequence is given by c_12_0.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, -1, 72, 89].
  • Modifying the above filter regular HSOP, we obtained the following parameters:
    1. b_4_03 + c_12_0, an element of degree 12
    2. b_16_4 + b_4_0·c_12_0, an element of degree 16
    3. b_8_0, an element of degree 8
