Abstract: This is a further investigation of our approach to group actions in homological algebra in the settings of homology of {Gamma}-simplicial groups, particularly of {Gamma}-equivariant homology and cohomology of {Gamma}-groups. This approach could be called {Gamma}-homological algebra. The abstract kernel of non-abelian extensions of groups, its relation with the obstruction to the existence of non-abelian extensions and with the second group cohomology are extended to the case of non-abelian {Gamma}-extensions of {Gamma}-groups. We compute the rational {Gamma}-equivariant (co)homology groups of finite cyclic {Gamma}-groups. The isomorphism of the group of n-fold {Gamma}-equivariant extensions of a {Gamma}-group G by a G o {Gamma}-module A with the (n+1)th {Gamma}-equivariant group cohomology of G with coefficients in A is proven.We define the {Gamma}-equivariant Hochschild homology as the homology of the {Gamma}- Hochschild complex involving the cyclic homology when the basic ring contains rational numbers and generalizing the {Gamma}equivariant(co)homology of {Gamma}-groups when the action of the group {Gamma} on the Hochschild complex is induced by its action on the basic ring. Important properties of the {Gamma}-equivariant Hochschild homology related to Kahler differentials, Morita equivalence and derived functors are established. Group (co)homology and {Gamma}-equivariant group (co)homology of crossed {Gamma}-modules are introduced and investigated by using relevant derived functors Finally, applications to algebraic K-theory, Galois theory of commutative rings and cohomological dimension of groups are given.


This paper sets forth a further investigation of the author's approach to group actions in homological algebra in the settings of homology of \(\Gamma\)-simplicial groups, particularly of \(\Gamma\)-equivariant (co)homology of \(\Gamma\)-groups. This new direction of homological algebra is called \(\Gamma\)-homological algebra. The abstract kernel of non-abelian extensions of groups, its relation with the obstruction theory, and with the second group cohomology are extended to the case of non-abelian \(\Gamma\)-extensions of \(\Gamma\)-groups. The author computes the rational \(\Gamma\)-equivariant (co)homology groups of finite cyclic \(\Gamma\)-groups. The isomorphism of the group of \(n\)-fold \(\Gamma\)-equivariant extensions of a \(\Gamma\)-group \(G\) by a \((G\rtimes \Gamma)\)-module \(A\) with the \((n + 1)\)th \(\Gamma\)-equivariant group cohomology of \(G\) with coefficients in \(A\) is proven. He defines the \(\Gamma\)-equivariant Hochschild homology as the homology of the \(\Gamma\)-Hochschild complex when the action of the group \(G\) on the Hochschild complex is induced by its action on the basic ring. Important properties of the \(\Gamma\)-equivariant Hochschild homology related to Kähler differentials, Morita equivalence, and derived functors are established. Group (co)homology and \(\Gamma\)-equivariant group (co)homology of crossed \(\Gamma\)-modules are introduced and investigated by using relevant derived functors. Relations with extensions of crossed \(\Gamma\)-modules, in particular with relative extensions of group epimorphisms in the sense of Loday are established. Universal and \(\Gamma\)-equivariant universal central \(\Gamma\)-extensions of \(\Gamma\)-perfect crossed \(\Gamma\)-modules are constructed and relevant Hopf formulas are obtained. Finally, applications to the algebraic \(K\)-theory, the Galois theory of commutative rings, and the cohomological dimension of groups are given.
