On a Completion of Cohomological Functors Generalising Tate Cohomology II

Viewing group cohomology as a cohomological functor, G. Mislin has generalised Tate cohomology from finite groups to all discrete groups by defining a completion for cohomological functors in 1994. In a previous paper, we have constructed for a cohomological functor $T^{\bullet }:\mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ its Mislin completion ${\widehat{T}}^{\bullet }:\mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ under mild assumptions on the abelian categories $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$, which generalises Tate cohomology to all $T1$ topological groups. In this paper, we investigate the properties of Mislin completions. As their main feature, Mislin completions of Ext-functors detect finite projective dimension of objects in the domain category. We establish a version of dimension shifting, an Eckmann–Shapiro result as well as cohomology products such as external products, cup products and Yoneda products.
