Abstract: It is known that for a prime pe2 there is the following natural description of the homology algebra of an abelian group H∗(A,mathbbFp)congLambda(A/p)otimesGamma(pA) and for finitely generated abelian groups there is the following description of the cohomology algebra of H∗(A,mathbbFp)congLambda((A/p)vee)otimessfSym((pA)vee). We prove that there are no such descriptions for p=2 that `depend' only on A/2 and 2A but we provide natural descriptions of H∗(A,mathbbF2) and H∗(A,mathbbF2) that `depend' on A/2, 2A and a linear map Moreover, we prove that there is a filtration by subfunctors on Hn(A,mathbbF2) whose quotients are Lambdan−2i(A/2)otimesGammai(2A) and that for finitely generated abelian groups there is a natural filtration on Hn(A,mathbbF2) whose quotients are Lambdan−2i((A/2)vee)otimessfSymi((2A)vee).


For a prime \(p\neq 2\), there is a description of the homology algebra of an abelian group \(A\) with coefficient in \(\mathbb{F}_p\) which only depends on \(A/p\) and \({}_pA\). And if moreover \(A\) is finitely generated, there is also such a description of the cohomology algebra of \(A\) with coefficient in \(\mathbb{F}_p\) which only depends on \(A/p\) and \({}_pA\). It is known that there are no such descriptions for \(p=2\) depending on \(A/2\) and \({}_2A\) only. In that case, descriptions of the homology algebra and, in the finitely generated case, of the cohomology algebra of \(A\) with coefficient in \(\mathbb{F}_2\) depending on \(A/2\), \({}_2A\) and a linear map \(\widetilde{\beta}:{}_2A\to A/2\) are presented. The authors prove also both in the case the homology algebra and, in the finitely generated case, in the case of the cohomology algebra of \(A\) with coefficient in \(\mathbb{F}_2\) the existence of filtrations by subfunctors whose quotients depend only on \(A/2\) and \({}_2A\).
