Abstract: Bieri-Eckmann [6] introduced the concept of relative cohomology for a group pair where G is a group and is a family of subgroups of G and, by using that theory, they introduced the concept of Poincaré duality pairs and provided a topological interpretation for such pairs through Eilenberg-MacLane pairs A Poincaré duality pair is a pair that satisfies two isomorphisms, one between absolute cohomology and relative homology and the second between relative cohomology and absolute homology. In this paper, we present a proof that those two isomorphisms are equivalent. We also present some calculations on duality pairs by using the cohomological invariant defined in [1] and studied in [2-4]. |
Keywords and phrases: relative (co)homology of groups, Poincaré duality pairs, duality group, inverse duality group. |
