Abstract
Let be a quotient of the hyperbolic space by the action of a discrete convex-cocompact group of isometries. We describe certain spaces of -invariant currents on the sphere at infinity of with support on the limit set of . These spaces are finite-dimensional. The main result identifies the cohomology of with a quotient of such spaces. We explain in which sense this result generalizes the classical Hodge theorem for compact quotients. We obtain analogous results for the cohomology groups , where is a finite-dimensional representation of the full group of orientation preserving isometries of .
