More precisely, we compute the groups $Ext^*\\_{\\mathcal{F}(\\textbf{gr})}(T^n \\circ \\mathfrak{a}, T^m \\circ \\mathfrak{a})$ where $T^n$ is the n-th tensor power functor and $\\mathfrak{a}$ is the abelianization functor from the category of free groups to abelian groups. These groups are shown to be non-zero if and only if $*=m-n \\geq 0$ and $Ext^{m-n}\\_{\\mathcal{F}(\\textbf{gr})}(T^n \\circ \\mathfrak{a}, T^m \\circ \\mathfrak{a})=\\mathbb{Z}[\\Omega(m,n)]$ where $\\Omega(m,n)$ is the set of surjections from the set having $m$ elements to the one having $n$ elements. We make explicit the action of symmetric groups on these groups and the Yoneda and external products. We use this computation in order to obtain other computations of Ext-groups between functors from groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-10T13:18:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "extensions", "abelianization functor", "n-th tensor power functor", "free groups", "ext-groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151103098V" } } }
