Abstract

An HNN extension H of a combinatorially aspherical group is shown to have period 2 l after three steps if a specific positive integer l may be derived from the associated subgroup monomorphisms. If l>1 the periodicity is characterised by cup product. Consequently a finite presentation may be found for the cohomology ring of any finitely presented H with trivial coefficients in a principal ideal domain.
