A universal coefficient theorem for quadratic functors (Q1977891)

Let \(F\) be a quadratic functor from abelian groups to abelian groups. Since the work of Kan and Dold-Puppe, given a simplicial abelian group \(X\), a well known problem is that of computing \(\pi_*FX\) in terms of \(\pi_*X\) and invariants of the functor \(F\). In the paper, the derived functors \(L_*F\) are calculated for any quadratic functor \(F\) by means of quadratic modules. It is shown as well that, for any simplicial abelian group \(X\), \(\pi_*FX\) can be computed by a quadratic universal coefficient formula. As an application, the Quillen homology for the variety of nilpotent groups of class 2 is computed.
