Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a symmetric continuous cohomology of topological groups. This is obtained by topologizing a recent construction due to Staic (J. Algebra 322 (2009), 1360-1378), where a symmetric cohomology of abstract groups is constructed. We give a characterization of topological group extensions that correspond to elements of the second symmetric continuous cohomology. We also show that the symmetric continuous cohomology of a profinite group with coefficients in a discrete module is equal to the direct limit of the symmetric cohomology of finite groups. In the end, we also define symmetric smooth cohomology of Lie groups and prove similar results.

Review text

In 2009, \textit{M. D. Staic} introduced a symmetric cohomology of abstract groups (see [J. Algebra 322, No. 4, 1360--1378 (2009; Zbl 1172.81014)]). The author introduces a continuous variant of Staic's construction, enabling him to give a characterization of topological group extensions which correspond to elements of the second symmetric continuous cohomology. Another important result is derived for profinite groups with coefficients in a discrete module. It turns out that the symmetric continuous cohomology of such groups is the direct limit of the symmetric cohomology of finite groups. At the end of the paper, the results are carried over to Lie groups, where a smooth version of the symmetric cohomology groups is being defined.
