Cockcroft–Swan Theorem for Projective Crossed Chain Complexes

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

The Cockcroft–Swan theorem is proved for n-dimensional projective crossed chain complexes (Pi,G, ∂ i ), where G = A * F is a free product of a fixed group A by a free finitely generated group F.
