Extensions of a family of Linear Cycle Sets

TL;DR
The paper develops a cohomological framework for extensions of a specific linear cycle set H by a trivial abelian group I, focusing on the second cohomology H^2_{⊲,⊳}(H,I) and providing explicit formulas and conditions that classify all extensions. It treats a concrete H with underlying group $\mathds{Z}_{p^{\eta}}$ and operation $i\cdot j=(1-p^{\nu}i)j$, deriving an explicit description of the associated brace and constructing concrete endomorphisms $A,B$ to realize the actions $h\blackdiamond y$ and $y\Yleft h$. The core results show that every 2-cocycle is equivalent to a pair $(\alpha_1(\gamma),f)$ and that H^2 can be computed as ker(F1)∩ker(F2)/Im(G); in the general case with $\Yleft\neq 0$, this is governed by polynomial data P(A),Q(A),R(A),S and the pair (f0,γ) subject to explicit relations. The paper then provides a broad collection of detailed examples across many regimes of primes, exponents, and decomposition types for H and I, yielding complete parameterizations of 2-cocycles and corresponding extensions, thereby offering a systematic method to construct and classify extensions of linear cycle sets in this setting.
Abstract
This paper explores the cohomology of linear cycle sets, focusing on extensions of a specific linear cycle set H by an abelian group I. We derive explicit formulas for the second cohomology group, which classifies these extensions, and establish conditions under which the extensions are fully determined. Key results include a characterization of extensions when I lies in the socle of the extended structure and H is trivial, and the construction of explicit examples for both trivial and non-trivial cases. The paper provides a systematic approach to understanding the structure of these extensions, with applications to various families of abelian groups.
