$H^2(G;\mathbb Z) \cong H^1(G;\mathbb {C}^*)$.

72 Views Asked by At

$H^2(G;\mathbb Z) \cong H^1(G;\mathbb {C}^*)$. Where $G$ is a finite group and $G$ acts trivially on $\mathbb Z, \mathbb C^*$.

I have really tried hard but still I couldn't solve it , any help will be appreciated.

My attempt:

Universal Coefficient theorem of Group Cohomology states that:

$$ 0 \longrightarrow Ext^{1}_{\mathbb Z}(H_{n-1}(G;\mathbb Z),\mathbb Z) \longrightarrow H^n(G, \mathbb Z) \longrightarrow Hom_{Ab}((H_{n}(G;\mathbb Z),\mathbb Z)\longrightarrow 0 $$ is split exact.

I have tried calculating $H^2(G, \mathbb Z)$ using this and $ H^1(G, \mathbb C^*)$ but nothing has come up.

Then I tried calculating $ H^1(G,\mathbb {Q/Z})$ but still dead end. Could anyone please give me atleast a hint.
