This expands greatly on a result originally due to Lazard and more recently investigated by Ando, Hopkins, and Strickland, which together with their work culminates in a complete classification of 2-cocycles over an arbitrary commutative ring. The ring classifying these polynomials finds application in algebraic topology, including generalizations of formal group laws and of cubical structures.27 pagesCommutative AlgebraAlgebraic Topology18G35; 55N22An Elementary Classification of Symmetric 2-Cocyclestext
