Abstract

A ( two dimensional ) cocycle  is a mapping  : G  G  C such that         g h k G g h gh k g hk h k    , ,  ,  ,  ,  , where G is a finite group and C is a finite abelian group. Additive form of the cocycle equation is  g, h g  h, k  g, h  k h, k  g, h,k G A cocycle naturally displays as a matrix,   g h G M g h  ,   , and this matrix is the Hadamard product of Inflation, Transgression and Coboundary matrices. In our work, we prove that the bilinear form is a cocycle and the converse is not true by giving a counter example.

Keywords
