Application of group 4-cocycles

35 Views Asked by At

When considering group cohomology one can relate the low-degree groups to certain objects within group theory, e.g.:

  • 1-cocycles are related to crossed homomorphisms
  • 2-cocycles are related to (central) extensions (and projective representations)
  • 3-cocycles are related to crossed modules

Now I was wondering if there exist any relations for higher-degree cohomology groups (especially 4)?
