\title{Periodic resolutions for certain finite groups} \author{Dave Benson} \address{Department of Mathematics, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB24 3UE, Scotland.} \begin{abstract} Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct odd primes, and let \[ G = \langle x,y\mid x^py=y^{-1}x^p,\ xy=y^{2q-1}x^{-1}\rangle \cong \Z/pq\rtimes Q_8. \] Using this deficiency zero presentation discovered by Bernard Neumann, we investigate the beginning of a projective resolution of $\Z$ as a $\Z G$-module in the case $p\not\equiv q \pmod 4$. This gives enough information to compute $H^*(G,M)$ for any $\Z G$-module $M$. \end{abstract}
