Abstract

We introduce a cochain complex for ample groupoids G\mathcal G using a flat resolution defining their homology with coefficients in Z\mathbb Z. We prove that the cohomology of this cochain complex with values in a G\mathcal G-module MM coincides with the previously introduced continuous cocycle cohomology of G\mathcal G. In particular, this groupoid cohomology is invariant under Morita equivalence. We derive an exact sequence for the cohomology of skew products by a Z\mathbb Z-valued cocycle. We indicate how to compute the cohomology with coefficients in a G\mathcal G-module MM for AFAF-groupoids and for certain action groupoids.
