The Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence is a powerful tool in algebraic topology and homological algebra, used to compute the homology or cohomology of a group that acts on a topological space or a module. It connects the cohomology of a group with that of its subgroups and their corresponding quotient, revealing deep relationships among them. This spectral sequence is particularly useful in the context of algebraic K-theory as it allows for calculations involving the Merkurjev-Suslin theorem, highlighting connections between different cohomological dimensions.
