Click For Summary
The discussion centers on clarifying the definition of group extensions, specifically the notation ##\mathcal{E}(G,N)##, and whether all extensions are isomorphic or diffeomorphic. There is a request for an explanation of the pullback ##u^*## in relation to the mapping ##u:G' \rightarrow G##. The user expresses a need for foundational resources to better understand the topic. Overall, the conversation aims to deepen comprehension of group extensions and related concepts.

TL;DR
Definition question
Hello!

I would like to be sure about my understanding of the definition provided in screenshot below

3. Very new to the subject so I would be grateful if someone recommends nice manual explainig basics.

Many thanks in advance
