Non vanishing of group cohomology

131 Views Asked by At

Let $G$ be a finite group, then $H^n(G,\mathbb{Z})\neq 0$ for infinitely many $n$. This is not hard to see for cyclic groups. Can we prove this fact algebraically, could anyone provide a reference? Thanks

As mentioned on the above page, Swan proved the result in:
