Extract

In a recent publication [2], R. Brown and the first author proved a Lifting Theorem for groups (and topological groups) showing that if β: B → H is an epimorphism of groups and H is a certain type of colimit of groups, then this colimit can be lifted (or pulled back) through β; that is B is a colimit of the lifted diagram (see Corollary 2·3 below).
