Suppose G {\displaystyle G} is a group and A {\displaystyle A} is an abelian group. Suppose f : G n → A {\displaystyle f:G^{n}\to A} is a function with the property that, for all i ∈ { 1 , 2 , … , n } {\displaystyle i\in \{1,2,\dots ,n\}} , if we fix the entries in all coordinates but the i t h {\displaystyle i^{th}} coordinate, the induced function from G {\displaystyle G} to A {\displaystyle A} is a homomorphism of groups.
Then, f {\displaystyle f} is a n {\displaystyle n} -cocycle for trivial group action.
