Computing Projective Indecomposable Modules and Higher Cohomology Groups

We describe the theory and implementation in Magma of algorithms to compute the projective indecomposable KG-modules for finite groups G and finite fields K. We describe also how they may be used together with dimension-shifting techniques to compute cohomology groups Hn (G, M) for finite-dimensional KG-modules M and n⩾3.
