Cohomological reduction by split pairs. (Q2463849)

The authors develop a new method to compare cohomology in module categories of different rings. This method usually does not lead to isomorphisms in cohomology but rather produces some surjective or injective maps between extension groups over the two rings involved. Thus the authors usually get two triangulated functors between the derived categories of these two rings (functors go in different directions) such that the first functor is injective on objects and morphisms and the second functor, when restricted to the image of the first one, is surjective on objects and morphisms. The authors also present some applications of their method, in particular to the strong no loops conjecture. Finally, the authors relate the cohomology of the Brauer algebra with that of various symmetric groups.
