The higher cohomology groups and extension theory. (Q1409609)

It is well known that if \(G\) is a group and \(A\) a \(\mathbb{Z} G\)-module then \(H^2(G,A)\) classifies group extensions and \(H^3(G,A)\) classifies obstructions. In this very nice paper the author uses his resolution, the Gruenberg resolution [cf. \textit{D. J. S. Robinson}, A course in the theory of groups, 2nd ed., Graduate Texts in Mathematics 80, Springer-Verlag, New York (1995; Zbl 0836.20001), 11.35] to exhibit, for each \(n\geq 1\), a relation between the pair \(H^{2n+2}(G,A)\), \(H^{2n+3}(G,A)\) and the extension theory of a functorially determined group \(P(n)\).
