A <E>crossed module</E> consists of a homomorphism of groups
<M>\partial\colon M\rightarrow G</M> together with an action
<M>(g,m)\mapsto\, {^gm}</M> of <M>G</M> on <M>M</M> satisfying
<Enum>
<Item> <M>\partial(^gm) = gmg^{-1}</M></Item>
<Item> <M>^{\partial m}m' = mm'm^{-1}</M></Item>
</Enum>
for <M>g\in G</M>, <M>m,m'\in M.

<P/> A crossed module <M>\partial\colon M\rightarrow G</M>
is equivalent to a cat<M>^1</M>-group <M>(H,s,t)</M> (see <Ref Sect="secCat1"/>) where
<M>H=M \rtimes G</M>, <M>s(m,g) = (1,g)</M>, <M>t(m,g)=(1,(\partial m)g)</M>. A cat<M>^1</M>-group is, in turn, equivalent to a simplicial group with Moore complex has length <M>1</M>. The simplicial group is constructed by considering the cat<M>^1</M>-group as a category and taking its nerve.
Alternatively, the simplicial group can be constructed by  viewing the crossed module as a crossed complex and using a nonabelian version of the Dold-Kan theorem.

<P/>The following example concerns the crossed module
<P/><M>\partial\colon G\rightarrow Aut(G), g\mapsto (x\mapsto gxg^{-1})</M>
<P/>associated to the dihedral group <M>G</M> of order <M>16</M>. This crossed module represents, up to homotopy type,
a connected space <M>X</M> with <M>\pi_iX=0</M> for <M>i\ge 3</M>,
<M>\pi_2X=Z(G)</M>, <M>\pi_1X = Aut(G)/Inn(G)</M>.
The space <M>X</M> can be represented, up to homotopy, by a simplicial group.
That simplicial group is used in the example to compute
<P/><M>H_1(X,\mathbb Z)= \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2</M>,
<P/><M>H_2(X,\mathbb Z)= \mathbb Z_2 </M>,
<P/><M>H_3(X,\mathbb Z)= \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2</M>,
<P/><M>H_4(X,\mathbb Z)= \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2</M>,
<P/><M>H_5(X,\mathbb Z)= \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2 \oplus \mathbb Z_2\oplus \mathbb Z_2\oplus \mathbb Z_2</M>.

<Section Label="eilennot"><Heading>Eilenberg-MacLane spaces as simplicial groups (not recommended)</Heading>
<P/>The following example concerns the Eilenberg-MacLane space <M>X=K(\mathbb Z_3,3)</M> which is a path-connected space with  <M>\pi_3X=\mathbb Z_3</M>,
  <M>\pi_iX=0</M> for <M>3\ne  i\ge 1</M>. This space is represented by a simplicial group, and perturbation techniques are used to compute
<P/><M>H_7(X,\mathbb Z)=\mathbb Z_3 \oplus \mathbb Z_3</M>.

<Section Label="eilen"><Heading>Eilenberg-MacLane spaces as simplicial free abelian groups (recommended)</Heading>

<P/>For integer <M>n>1</M> and  abelian group <M>A</M> the Eilenberg-MacLane space
<M>K(A,n)</M>
is better represented as a simplicial free abelian group. (The  reason is that   the functorial bar resolution of  a group  can be replaced in computations
by the smaller functorial Chevalley-Eilenberg complex of the group
when the group is free abelian,  obviating the need for perturbation techniques. When <M>A</M> has torision we can replace it with an inclusion of free abelian groups <M>A_1 \hookrightarrow A_0</M> with <M>A\cong A_0/A_1</M> and again invoke the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex. The current implementation unfortunately handles only free abelian <M>A</M> but the easy extension to non-free <M>A</M> is planned for a future release.)

<P/>The following commands compute the integral homology <M>H_n(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z)</M> for <M> 0\le n \le 16</M>. (Note that one typically needs fewer than <M>n</M> terms of the Eilenberg-MacLance space to compute its <M>n</M>-th homology -- an error is printed if too few terms of the space are available for a given computation.)

For an <M>n</M>-connected pointed space <M>X</M> the Freudenthal Suspension
Theorem states that the map <M>X \rightarrow \Omega(\Sigma X)</M> induces a map
<M>\pi_k(X) \rightarrow \pi_k(\Omega(\Sigma X))</M> which is an isomorphism for
<M>k\le 2n</M> and epimorphism for  <M>k=2n+1</M>. Thus the Eilenberg-MacLane
space
<M>K(A,n+1)</M> can be constructed from the suspension <M>\Sigma K(A,n)</M>
by attaching cells in dimensions <M>\ge 2n+1</M>. In particular,  there is an isomorphism
<M> H_{k-1}(K(A,n),\mathbb Z) \rightarrow H_k(K(A,n+1),\mathbb Z)</M> for <M>k\le 2n</M> and epimorphism for <M>k=2n+1</M>.

<P/>
For instance, <M> H_{k-1}(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z) \cong H_k(K(\mathbb Z,4),\mathbb Z) </M> for <M>k\le 6</M> and <M> H_6(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z) \twoheadrightarrow H_7(K(\mathbb Z,4),\mathbb Z) </M>. This assertion is seen in the following session.

<Heading>Elementary theoretical information on
<M>H^\ast(K(\pi,n),\mathbb Z)</M></Heading>

<P/>The cup product is not implemented for the cohomology ring
<M>H^\ast(K(\pi,n),\mathbb Z)</M>.  Standard theoretical spectral sequence arguments
have to be applied to obtain basic information relating to
the  ring structure. To illustrate this the following commands compute  <M>H^n(K(\mathbb Z,2),\mathbb Z)</M>
for the first few values of <M>n</M>.

There is a fibration sequence <M>K(\pi,n) \hookrightarrow \ast \twoheadrightarrow K(\pi,n+1)</M> in which  <M>\ast</M> denotes a contractible space.
For <M>n=1, \pi=\mathbb Z</M> the terms of the <M>E_2</M> page of the

are
<List>
<Item> <M>E_2^{pq}= H^p( K(\mathbb Z,2), H^q(K(\mathbb Z,1),\mathbb Z) )</M> .</Item>
</List>
Since <M>K(\mathbb Z,1)</M> can be taken to be  the circle <M>S^1</M> we know
that it has non-trivial cohomology in degrees <M>0</M> and <M>1</M> only. The first few terms of

Let <M>x</M> denote the generator of <M>H^1(K(\mathbb Z,1),\mathbb Z)</M>
and <M>y</M> denote the generator of <M>H^2(K(\mathbb Z,2),\mathbb Z)</M>.
Since <M>\ast</M> has zero cohomology in degrees <M>\ge 1</M> we see that the differential must restrict to an isomorphism  <M>d_2\colon E_2^{0,1} \rightarrow E_2^{2,0}</M> with
<M>d_2(x)=y</M>. Then we see that the differential must restrict
to an isomorphism
<M>d_2\colon E_2^{2,1} \rightarrow E_2^{4,0}</M> defined on the generator <M>xy</M> of <M>E_2^{2,1}</M>
by
<Display>d_2(xy) = d_2(x)y + (-1)^{{\rm deg}(x)}xd_2(y) =y^2\ . </Display>
Hence <M>E_2^{4,0} \cong H^4(K(\mathbb Z,2),\mathbb Z)</M> is generated by <M>y^2</M>. The argument extends to show that <M>H^6(K(\mathbb Z,2),\mathbb Z)</M> is generated by <M>y^3</M>, <M>H^8(K(\mathbb Z,2),\mathbb Z)</M> is generated by <M>y^4</M>, and so on.

<P/>In fact, to obtain a complete description of the ring <M>H^\ast(K(\mathbb Z,2),\mathbb Z)</M> in this fashion there is no benefit to using computer methods at all. We only need to know the cohomology ring <M>H^\ast(K(\mathbb Z,1),\mathbb Z) =H^\ast(S^1,\mathbb Z)</M> and the single cohomology group <M>H^2(K(\mathbb Z,2),\mathbb Z)</M>.

<P/>A similar approach can be attempted for <M>H^\ast(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z)</M> using the fibration sequence <M>K(\mathbb Z,2) \hookrightarrow \ast \twoheadrightarrow K(\mathbb Z,3)</M> and, as explained in Chapter 5 of
<Cite Key="hatcher"/>, yields the computation of the group <M>H^i(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z)</M> for <M>4\le i\le 13</M>. The method does not directly yield <M>H^3(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z)</M> and breaks down in degree <M>14</M> yielding
only that
<M>H^{14}(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z) = 0 {\rm ~or~} \mathbb Z_3</M>.
The following commands provide <M>H^3(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z)= \mathbb Z</M>
and <M>H^{14}(K(\mathbb Z,3),\mathbb Z) =0</M>.

<Example>

However, the implementation of these commands is currently a bit naive, and computationally inefficient, since they do not currently employ any homological perturbation techniques.

we can form the mapping cone <M>X=C(\iota)</M>. The long

<P/><M> \cdots H_{n+2}(S^n,\mathbb Z) \rightarrow H_{n+2}(K,\mathbb Z) \rightarrow  H_{n+2}(K,S^n, \mathbb Z) \rightarrow H_{n+1}(S^n,\mathbb Z) \rightarrow \cdots</M>

<P/> arising from the cofibration <M>S^n \hookrightarrow K \twoheadrightarrow X</M>
implies that <M>\pi_{n+1}(S^n)\cong \pi_{n+2}(K,S^n) \cong H_{n+2}(K,S^n,\mathbb Z) \cong H_{n+2}(K,\mathbb Z)</M>. From the <B>GAP</B> computations in <Ref Sect="eilen"/>   and the Freudenthal Suspension Theorem we find:

<Display> \pi_3S^2 \cong \mathbb Z, ~~~~~~ \pi_{n+1}(S^n)\cong \mathbb Z_2~~~(n\ge 3).</Display>

<P/>The Hopf fibration <M>S^3\rightarrow S^2</M> has fibre <M>S^1 = K(\mathbb Z,1)</M>. It can be constructed by viewing <M>S^3</M> as all pairs
<M>(z_1,z_2)\in \mathbb C^2</M> with <M>|z_1|^2+|z_2|^2=1</M> and viewing
<M>S^2</M> as <M>\mathbb C\cup \infty</M>; the map sends <M>(z_1,z_2)\mapsto z_1/z_2</M>. The homotopy exact sequence of the Hopf fibration   yields
<M>\pi_k(S^3) \cong \pi_k(S^2)</M> for <M>k\ge 3</M>, and in  particular
<Display>\pi_4(S^2) \cong \pi_4(S^3) \cong \mathbb Z_2\ .</Display>

It will require further techniques (such as the Postnikov tower argument in  Section <Ref Sect="postnikov2"/> below) to establish that <M>\pi_5(S^3) \cong \mathbb Z_2</M>.
Once we have this isomorphism for <M>\pi_5(S^3)</M>, the generalized Hopf fibration
<M>S^3 \hookrightarrow S^7 \twoheadrightarrow S^4</M> comes into play. This
fibration is contructed as for the classical fibration, but using pairs
<M>(z_1,z_2)</M> of quaternions rather than pairs of complex numbers. The Hurewicz Theorem gives <M>\pi_3(S^7)=0</M>;  the fibre <M>S^3</M> is thus homotopic to a point in <M>S^7</M> and the inclusion of the fibre induces the zero homomorphism <M>\pi_k(S^3) \stackrel{0}{\longrightarrow} \pi_k(S^7) ~~(k\ge 1)</M>. The exact homotopy sequence of the generalized Hopf fibration then gives <M>\pi_k(S^4)\cong \pi_k(S^7)\oplus \pi_{k-1}(S^3)</M>. On taking <M>k=6</M> we obtain <M>\pi_6(S^4)\cong \pi_5(S^3) \cong \mathbb Z_2</M>.

Freudenthal suspension then gives <Display>\pi_{n+2}(S^n)\cong \mathbb Z_2,~~~(n\ge 2).</Display>

Since we know  that <M>H^5(X_4,\mathbb Z) =0</M>, the differentials in the spectral sequence must restrict to
an isomorphism <M>E_2^{0,5}=\pi_4(S^3) \stackrel{\cong}{\longrightarrow} E_2^{6,0}=\mathbb Z_2</M>. This provides an alternative derivation of <M>\pi_4(S^3) \cong \mathbb Z_2</M>.
We can also immediately deduce that <M>H^6(X_4,\mathbb Z)=0</M>.

Let <M>x</M> be the generator of <M>E_2^{0,5}</M> and <M>y</M> the generator of
<M>E_2^{3,0}</M>. Then the generator <M>xy</M> of <M>E_2^{3,5}</M>
gets mapped to a non-zero element <M>d_7(xy)=d_7(x)y -xd_7(y)</M>. Hence the
term <M>E_2^{0,7}=\mathbb Z_2</M> must get mapped to zero in <M>E_2^{3,5}</M>.  It follows that <M>H^7(X_4,\mathbb Z)=\mathbb Z_2</M>.

Since we know that <M>H^6(X_5,\mathbb Z)=0</M>, the differentials in the spectral sequence must restrict to an isomorphism <M>E_2^{0,6}=\pi_5(S^3)
\stackrel{\cong}{\longrightarrow} E_2^{7,0}=H^7(X_4,\mathbb Z)</M>.
We can  conclude the desired result:
<Display>\pi_5(S^3) = \mathbb Z_2\ .</Display>

Note that the fibration <M>X_4 \twoheadrightarrow K(\mathbb Z,3)</M> is determined by a cohomology class <M>\kappa \in H^5(K(\mathbb Z,3), \mathbb Z_2) = \mathbb Z_2</M>.
If <M>\kappa=0</M> then we'd have X_4 =K(\mathbb Z_2,4)\times K(\mathbb Z,3) and, as the following commands show, we'd then have <M>H_4(X_4,\mathbb Z)=\mathbb Z_2</M>.

Since we know that <M>H_4(X_4,\mathbb Z)=0</M> we can conclude that the Postnikov invariant
<M>\kappa</M> is the non-zero class in <M>H^5(K(\mathbb Z,3), \mathbb Z_2) = \mathbb Z_2</M>.

Consider the suspension <M>X=\Sigma K(G,1)</M> of a classifying space of a group <M>G</M> once again. This space has a Postnikov system in which
<M>X_1 = \ast</M>, <M>X_2= K(G_{ab},2)</M>. We have a fibration sequence
<M>K(\pi_3 X, 3) \hookrightarrow X_3 \twoheadrightarrow K(G_{ab},2)</M>. The corresponding integral cohomology Serre spectral sequence has <M>E_2</M> page with terms

<Heading>Enumerating homotopy 2-types</Heading>

A <E>2-type</E> is a CW-complex <M>X</M> whose homotopy groups are trivial in dimensions <M>n=0 </M>
and <M>n>2</M>. As explained in <Ref Sect="secCat1"/> the homotopy type of such a space can be captured algebraically by a cat<M>^1</M>-group <M>G</M>.

Let <M>X</M>, <M>Y</M> be <M>2</M>-tytpes represented by cat<M>^1</M>-groups <M>G</M>, <M>H</M>. If <M>X</M> and <M>Y</M> are homotopy equivalent then there exists a sequence of morphisms of cat<M>^1</M>-groups
<Display>G \rightarrow K_1 \rightarrow K_2 \leftarrow K_3 \rightarrow \cdots \rightarrow K_n  \leftarrow H</Display>
in which each morphism induces isomorphisms of homotopy groups. When such a sequence exists we say that <M>G</M> is <E>quasi-isomorphic</E> to <M>H</M>. We have the following result.

<P/><B>Theorem.</B> The <M>2</M>-types <M>X</M> and <M>Y</M> are homotopy equivalent if and only if the associated cat<M>^1</M>-groups <M>G</M> and <M>H</M> are quasi-isomorphic.

<P/>The following commands produce a list <M>L</M> of all of the <M>62</M> non-isomorphic cat<M>^1</M>-groups whose underlying group has order <M>16</M>.

<Example>
<#Include SYSTEM "tutex/9.10.txt">
</Example>

The next commands use the first and second homotopy groups to prove that the list <M>L</M> contains at least <M>37</M> distinct quasi-isomorphism types.

<Example>
<#Include SYSTEM "tutex/9.11.txt">

The following additional commands use second and third integral homology in conjunction with the first two homotopy groups to prove that the list <M>L</M> contains <B>at least</B> <M>49</M> distinct quasi-isomorphism types.

<Example>

<Section>
<Heading>Identifying cat<M>^1</M>-groups of low order</Heading>

Let us define the <E>order</E> of a cat<M>^1</M>-group to be the order of
its underlying group. The function <Code>IdQuasiCatOneGroup(C)</Code>  inputs a
cat<M>^1</M>-group <M>C</M> of "low order" and returns an integer pair
<M>[n,k]</M> that uniquely idenifies the quasi-isomorphism type of <M>C</M>. The integer <M>n</M> is the order of a smallest cat<M>^1</M>-group quasi-isomorphic to <M>C</M>. The integer <M>k</M> identifies a particular cat<M>^1</M>-group of order <M>n</M>.

<P/>The following commands use this function to show that there are  precisely <M>49</M> distinct quasi-isomorphism types of cat<M>^1</M>-groups of order <M>16</M>.

<Example>
<#Include SYSTEM "tutex/9.14.txt">
</Example>

The next example  first
identifies the order and the identity number of  the cat<M>^1</M>-group <M>C</M> corresponding to the crossed module (see <Ref Sect="secCrossedModules"/>)

<Display>\iota\colon G \longrightarrow Aut(G), g \mapsto (x\mapsto gxg^{-1})</Display>

for the dihedral group <M>G</M> of order <M>10</M>.

It then realizes a smallest possible cat<M>^1</M>-group <M>D</M> of this quasi-isomorphism type.

<Section>
<Heading>Identifying crossed modules of low order</Heading>

<P/>The following commands  construct the crossed module <M>\partial \colon G\otimes G \rightarrow G</M> involving the nonabelian tensor square of the dihedral group $G$ of order <M>10</M>, identify it as being number <M>71</M> in the list of crossed modules of order <M>100</M>, create a quasi-isomorphic crossed module of order <M>4</M>, and finally construct the corresponding cat<M>^1</M>-group of order <M>100</M>.
