Connecting homomorphisms are algebraic structures that relate different cohomology groups in a long exact sequence, often arising from the use of a pair of topological spaces or a group extension. These homomorphisms play a crucial role in understanding how cohomology behaves in sequences and how properties of one space or group can influence another, serving as a bridge between cohomological information across various contexts.
