Let \(G\) be a finite group. If \(q\) is a natural number and \(A\) is a \(\mathbb{Z}[G]\) module such that for every prime \(p\) and every \(p\)-subgroup \(H\) of \(G\), \(H^{q+1}(H,A)=H^q(H,A)=0\), then \(H^n(G,A)=0\) for every \(n\geq q\). This is a well known result in cohomology theory of groups which is generalized in the paper under discussion. Theorem. Let \(K\) be a \(G\)-CW complex and let \(M\) be a \(G\)-coefficient system as defined by \textit{G. E. Bredon} [Equivariant cohomology theories. (Lect. Notes Math. 34) Berlin etc.: Springer-Verlag (1967; Zbl 0162.27202)]. Let \(n\) be a natural number. Suppose that, for every \(m\geq n\) and for every subgroup \(H\) of \(G\), the equivariant Bredon cohomology groups \(H^m_G(K^H,K^{>H};M)\) vanish. Let \(G'\) be a subgroup of \(G\) such that, for every prime \(p\) and every \(p\)-subgroup \(H\) of \(G'\), the cohomology groups \(H^m_G(K\times_{K/G}K/H,M)\) vanish whenever \(n\leq m\leq n+1=4l_p(G')\). Then, for all \(m\geq n\), \(H^m_G(K\times_{K/G}K/G',M)=0\). In this theorem \(l_p(G)=\log_p| G_p|\) where \(G_p\) is the \(p\) Sylow subgroup of \(G\). Furthermore, \(K\times_{K/G}K/H\) is obtained as the fibre product of the two projection maps \(K\to K/G\) and \(K/H\to K/G\).
