In this paper we determine the homology and the cohomology groups of two properly discontinuous groups of isometries of the hyperbolic plane having non-compact orbit spaces and the fundamental group of a graph of groups with a finite vertex groups and no trivial edges by extending Lyndon’s partial free resolution for finitely presented groups. For the first two groups, we obtain partial extensions and the corresponding homology. We also compute the corresponding cohomology groups for one of these groups. Finally we obtain homology and cohomology in all dimensions for the last of the above mentioned groups by constructing a full resolution for this group.GANIT J. Bangladesh Math.

In this paper the authors obtained a method of constructing free resolutions of Z for finitely presented groups directly from their presentations by extending Lyndon’s 3-term partial resolution to a full-length resolution. Authors resolutions and the method of their construction are such that free generators of the modules and the boundary homomorphisms are directly and explicitly obtained by solving of linear equations over the corresponding integral group rings, and hence these are immediately applicable for computing homology and cohomology of the groups for arbitrary coefficient modules. Authors have also described a general situation where their method is valid. The method has been used for a number of classes of group including Fuchsian groups, a few Euclidean crystallographic groups, NEC groups, the fundamental groups of a few interesting manifolds, groups of isometries of the hyperbolic plane and a few nilpotent groups of class 2.

This paper is concerned with computation in finitely presented groups. We discuss a procedure for showing that a finite presentation presents a group with a free subgroup of finite index, and we give methods for solving various problems in such groups. Our procedure works by constructing a particular kind of partial groupoid whose universal group is isomorphic to the group presented. When the procedure succeeds, the partial groupoid can be used as an aid to computation in the group.
