ABSTRACT The applicability of A1-structures, as introduced by Stasheff
(1963) in the setting of algebra, or more specifically in representation theory has gradually grown. With Keller (2002, 2001) and Lu,
Palmieri, Wu, and Zhang (2007, 2006), the benefits of A1-algebra
structures to the theory of representations and of cohomology of
various classes of algebras have been made explicit. By the results
in these papers, there is the potential to use A1-structures in modular group cohomology – the group cohomology A1-algebra would
determine the corresponding group ring completely.

However, the calculational techniques available do not lend
themselves easily to calculation of these structures, nor are there
particularly many examples at hand. The only examples that do
exist in deeper treatment for modular finite group cohomology are
the finite cyclic groups.
