Future work:

- Implement contracting homotopies for the function ResolutionArtinGroup() .
- Implement functions for the abelian extensions of groups which are classified by second cohomology. It might also be worth implementing Mac Lanes's third cohomology obstruction to the existence of nonabelian extensions.
- Develop more functions for "ZG-resolutions with non-free G-action". Such a resolution R is similar to a free resolution except that it has a component R.stabilizer(e) which returns the stabilizer subgroup Ge in G of each generator e of R. We need to implement a function MakeFree(R) which, using the non-free resolution R and free resolutions Re for each stabilizer group, constructs a free ZG-resolution. The algorithm is explained in [G. Ellis, J. Harris & E. Sköldberg, "Polytopal resolutions for finite groups", J. Reine Angewandte Math., to appear].
- Apply the function MakeFree(R) in the construction of free ZG-resolutions for: (1) Coxeter groups G which act on the so-called Davis complex; (2) some infinite generalised triangle groups G which act on hyperbolic 3-space; finite groups G acting faithfully on Euclidean space (this will use Polymake software).
