Abstract

Let G be a locally finite group of cardinality ℵn where n is a natural number. Let π(G) be the set of primes p for which G has an element of order p. In [5], Holt conjectures that if k is a finite field with char k ∉ π(G) then

(1) G has cohomological dimension n+1 over k;

(2) Hn+1(G, kG) has cardinality 2n;

(3) Hi(G, kG) = 0 for 0 [les ] i [les ] n.
