    Added in the usual group presentation of the dihedral group D 2nD_{2n} plus a warning that this group is also denoted D nD_n by some authors (including myself!!!)

    Yeah, notation can be a bit of a pain here.

    I have given your remark a remark-environment here, instead of it being a subsection, and edited slightly, mostly for formatting.

    added mentioning, pointers, and redirects for “dicyclic group”, synonymous to “binary dihedral group”

    made explicit (here) the short exact sequence 1/nD 2n/211 \to \mathbb{Z}/n \to D_{2n} \to \mathbb{Z}/2 \to 1.

    Is there a citable computation of the group cohomology of dihedral groups with coefficients in \mathbb{Z} equipped with its non-trivial sign action?

    This question is also MO:q/141489.

    I haven’t checked the two answers there yet, but don’t they contradict each other?

    The accepted answer MO:a/141557 sees the cohomology concentrated in odd degrees.

    But the other answer MO:a/141546, whose author claims to have checked this with computer algebra, argues for a nontivial contribution in degree 2.
