Subject:
I am interested in 1) non-splitting extensions of simple groups, and the related low-dimensional cohomology groups, and 2) diagram geometries, their cohomology properties and applications to the computation of cohomology of the groups acting on these geometries. Main results are: 1) calculation of the relations module of arbitrary Coxeter group; 2) classification of all non-splitting extensions of an elementary abelian 2-group $V$ by means of $L_2(q)$ such that $L_2(q)$ acts on $V$ nontrivially and irreducibly; 3) a theorem on extension of cocycles in BN-pairs. Let $M$ be a module over a BN-pair $G$, $B$ a fixed Borel subgroup. Suppose we have an $M$-valued $k$-cocycle on each parabolics of rank $k+1$ containing $B$, and suppose these cocycles coincide on intersections. Then these cocycles are restriction of a cocycle defined on the whole group $G$. The similar statement is true for the groups admitting a flag-transitive action on a dimensional linear space; 4) calculation of the homology of the flag complexes of the rank 4 geometry, related to the Higman–Sims group, and of the locally polar spaces of order 2.
