Abstract

It is first shown that the comparison theorem in relative homological algebra is the only tool to be used for introducing Steenrod operations in Cotor as well as in Ext. Then, the interaction of the operations in both functors is discussed in full detail. Some basic properties of the operations are given in the last section of the paper.
