We elaborate on how two definitions of the volume of a big cohomology class are consistent. The first definition involves taking the absolutely continuous part of a closed positive current, and the second involves the non-pluripolar…

Real forms of a complex reductive group are classified by Galois cohomology H^1(Gamma,G_ad) where G_ad is the adjoint group. Cartan's classification of real forms in terms of maximal compact subgroups can be stated in terms of H^(Z/2Z,G_ad)…
