Expand description

The cup-square cohomology operation x ↦ x ∪ x : Hⁿ(−; A) → H²ⁿ(−; A). Over Z/2 it is the TOP Steenrod square Sqⁿ — the first genuine cohomology operation (a natural transformation of the functor Hⁿ(−;A)), the secondary structure carried by the cohomology the Eilenberg–MacLane spectrum represents.
