Abstract
We define the homology of a simplicial set with coefficients in a Segal's -set (-module). We show the relevance of this new homology with values in -modules by proving that taking as coefficients the -modules at the archimedean place over the structure sheaf on introduced in our previous work, one obtains on the singular homology with real coefficients of a topological space , a norm equivalent to the Gromov norm. Moreover, we prove that the two norms agree when is an oriented compact Riemann surface.
