This page hosts information on Peter Patzt's talk "What is … group homology?" at the "What is …?" seminar. The talk will take place on Friday, June 12, 1:30pm at the BMS Loft at Urania. This talk will help you better understand the talk by Nathalie Wahl, which will start at 2pm.
In this talk we recall a few notions and definitions from homological algebra. Then we give a quick-and-dirty definition of group homology. The talk finishes with Shapiro's Lemma, which is an easy implication from the definitions.
