Second cohomology group for trivial group action of Q8 on Z4
From Groupprops
This article gives information about the second cohomology group for trivial group action (i.e., the second cohomology group with trivial action) of the group quaternion group on cyclic group:Z4. The elements of this classify the group extensions with cyclic group:Z4 in the center and quaternion group the corresponding quotient group. Specifically, these are precisely the central extensions with the given base group and acting group.
The value of this cohomology group is Klein four-group.

Description of the group
This article describes the second cohomology group for trivial group action of quaternion group on cyclic group:Z4, i.e., the group:
where is the quaternion group and
is cyclic group:Z4.
The cohomology group itself is isomorphic to the Klein four-group.
Computation of cohomology group
The cohomology group can be computed abstractly as the group cohomology of quaternion group.
