Postnikov square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In algebraic topology, a Postnikov square is a certain cohomology operation from a first cohomology group H1 to a third cohomology group H3, introduced by Postnikov (1949). Eilenberg (1952) described a generalization taking classes in Ht to H2t+1.
