Derived functors of the divided power functors

Lawrence Breen, Roman Mikhailov and Antoine Touzé

Geometry & Topology 20 (2016) 257–352
Abstract

We study the derived functors of the components Γd(A) of the divided power algebra Γ(A) associated to an abelian group A, with special emphasis on the d = 4 case. While our results have applications both to representation theory and to algebraic topology, we illustrate them here by providing a new functorial description of certain integral homology groups of the Eilenberg–Mac Lane spaces K(A,n) for A a free abelian group. In particular, we give a complete functorial description of the groups H(K(A,3); ) for such A.

Keywords
