The cohomolo package may be used to perform certain cohomological calculations on a finite permutation group G. The following properties of G can be computed:
The p-part Mul_p
of the Schur multiplier Mul of G, and a presentation of
a covering extension of Mul_p
by G, for a specified prime p;
The dimensions of the first and second cohomology groups of G acting on a finite dimensional KG-module M, where K is a field of prime order; and
Presentations of split and nonsplit extensions of M by G.
