Third homology of perfect central extensions (Q2139460)

Given a central extension \(1\to A\to G\to Q\to1\), the authors prove results about image of the map \(H_3(A,\mathbb{Z})\to H_3(G,\mathbb{Z})\) and the kernel and cokernel of \(H_3(G,\mathbb{Z})\to H_3(Q,\mathbb{Z})\) under certain additional hypotheses. They study the cohomology map \(H^3(Q,\mathbb{Z})\to H^3(G,\mathbb{Z})\) under certain hypotheses. They also provide an application to the third Hermitian \(K\)-theory of rings with involution.
