We study the cohomology theory of sheaf complexes for open embeddings of topological spaces and related subjects. The theory is situated in the intersection of the general Cech theory and the theory of derived categories. That is to say, on…
This paper provides a rigorous account on the geometry of forms on supermanifolds, with a focus on its algebraic-geometric aspects. First, we introduce the de Rham complex of differential forms and we compute its cohomology. We then discuss…
The universal Spencer and de Rham complexes of sheaves over a smooth or analytical manifold are well known to play a basic role in the theory of $\mathcal{D}$-modules. In this article we consider a double complex of sheaves generalizing…
The purpose of this paper is to present a ``Cech-De Rham'' model for the cohomology of leaf spaces. This model lends itself to the construction of characteristic classes (in the cohomology of classifying spaces) by explicit geometrical…
The present paper is a continuation of our work on curved finitary spacetime sheaves of incidence algebras and treats the latter along Cech cohomological lines. In particular, we entertain the possibility of constructing a non-trivial de…
We introduce the notion of a conformal de Rham complex of a Riemannian manifold. This is a graded differential Banach algebra and it is invariant under quasiconformal maps, in particular the associated cohomology is a new quasiconformal…
We provide a formula for the Chern character of a holomorphic vector bundle in the hyper-cohomology of the de Rham complex of holomorphic sheaves on a complex manifold. This Chern character can be thought of as a completion of the Chern…
The aim of this note is to define certain sheaves of vertex algebras on smooth manifolds. For each smooth complex algebraic (or analytic) manifold $X$, we construct a sheaf $\Omega^{ch}_X$, called the {\bf chiral de Rham complex} of $X$. It…
Topological Chern-Simons (CS) and BF theories and their holomorphic analogues are discussed in terms of de Rham and Dolbeault cohomologies. We show that Cech cohomology provides another useful description of the above topological and…
The aim of this article is to study the geometry of Bott-Chern hypercohomology from the bimeromorphic point of view. We construct some new bimeromorphic invariants involving the cohomology for the sheaf of germs of pluriharmonic functions,…
We show that every sheaf on the site of smooth manifolds with values in a stable (infinity,1)-category (like spectra or chain complexes) gives rise to a differential cohomology diagram and a homotopy formula, which are common features of…
A semiring scheme generalizes a scheme in such a way that the underlying algebra is that of semirings. We generalize \v{C}ech cohomology theory and invertible sheaves to semiring schemes. In particular, when $X=\mathbb{P}^n_M$, a projective…
We study Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of physically relevant Lie superalgebras related to supersymmetric theories, providing explicit expressions for their cocycles in terms of their Maurer-Cartan forms. We then include integral forms in…
Interpreting the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) as a formal Hamiltonian quantization of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model, we suggest a setup for the study of CDR on manifolds with special holonomy. We show how to systematically…
In this expository article, we outline the theory of harmonic differential forms and its consequences. We provide self-contained proofs of the following important results in differential geometry: (1) Hodge theorem, which states that for a…
We study the cohomology of Lie superalgebras for the full complex of forms: superforms, pseudoforms and integral forms. We use the technique of spectral sequences to abstractly compute the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology. We first focus on…
In this paper, we mainly build up the theory of sheaf-correspondence filtered spaces and stratified de Rham complexes for studying singular spaces. We prove the finiteness of a stratified de Rham cohomology and obtain its isomorphism to…
If M is a riemannian manifold, then the inclusion of the complex of coclosed harmonic forms into the de Rham complex induces a linear isomorphism in cohomology. If M has at most countably many connected components, this linear isomorphism…
Inspired by superstring field theory, we study differential, integral, and inverse forms and their mutual relations on a supermanifold from a sheaf-theoretical point of view. In particular, the formal distributional properties of integral…
For a manifold M we define a structure on the group action of Diff(M) on the smooth functions on M which reduces to the usual differential geometry upon differentiation at zero along the one-parameter groups of Diff(M). This ``integrated…
