We define a new version of the exterior derivative on the basic forms of a Riemannian foliation to obtain a new form of basic cohomology that satisfies Poincar\'e duality in the transversally orientable case. We use this twisted basic…
It is well-known that the cohomology of symmetric quandles generates robust cocycle invariants for unoriented classical and surface links. Expanding on the recently introduced module-theoretic generalized cohomology for symmetric quandles,…
A characterisation of trivial 1-cohomology for a broad class of metric spaces is presented. The condition ties cohomology and connectedness properties of open sets.
The method of intersection spaces associates cell-complexes depending on a perversity to certain types of stratified pseudomanifolds in such a way that Poincar\'e duality holds between the ordinary rational cohomology groups of the…
We give a geometric interpretation of sheaf cohomology for higher degrees n in terms of torsors on the member of degree d=n-1 in hypercoverings of type r=n-2, endowed with an additional data, the so-called rigidification. This generalizes…
In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a…
Let X be a separated finite type scheme over a noetherian base ring K. There is a complex C(X) of topological O_X-modules on X, called the complete Hochschild chain complex of X. To any O_X-module M - not necessarily quasi-coherent - we…
This is a review article discussing the de Rham cohomology of period domains of Hodge structures. We explain it as the de Rham cohomology of differentiable stacks as of a moduli space. We also discuss the cohomology of the partial toroidal…
Characteristic class relations in Dolbeault cohomology follow from the existence of a holomorphic Cartan geometry (for example, a holomorphic conformal structure or a holomorphic projective connection). These relations can be calculated…
We define quantum exterior product wedge_h and quantum exterior differential d_h on Poisson manifolds, of which symplectic manifolds are an important class of examples. Quantum de Rham cohomology is defined as the cohomology of d_h. We also…
We study sheaves of differential forms and their cohomology in the h-topology. This allows to extend standard results from the case of smooth varieties to the general case. As a first application we explain the case of singularities arising…
We generalize Kontsevich's construction of characteristic classes of fibre bundles with homology sphere fibres and a trivialization of the vertical tangent bundle to framed fibre bundles with closed manifold fibres.
We investigate the super-de Rham complex of five-dimensional superforms with $N=1$ supersymmetry. By introducing a free supercommutative algebra of auxiliary variables, we show that this complex is equivalent to the Chevalley-Eilenberg…
We classify singular Enriques surfaces in characteristic two supporting a rank nine configuration of smooth rational curves. They come in one-dimensional families defined over the prime field, paralleling the situation in other…
The Hochschild cohomology of a differential graded algebra, or a differential graded category, admits a natural map to the graded center of its homology category: the characteristic homomorphism. We interpret it as an edge homomorphism in a…
We define a map of simplicial presheaves, the Chern character, that assigns to every sequence of composable non connection preserving isomorphisms of vector bundles with holomorphic connections an appropriate sequence of holomorphic forms.…
Generalizing pseudospherical drawings, we introduce a new class of simple drawings, which we call separable drawings. In a separable drawing, every edge can be closed to a simple curve that intersects each other edge at most once. Curves of…
A noncommutative-geometric generalization of classical Weil theory of characteristic classes is presented, in the conceptual framework of quantum principal bundles. A particular care is given to the case when the bundle does not admit…
In this paper, we develop a new approach to the deformation theory of restricted Lie-Rinehart algebras in positive characteristic, based on the deformation theory of restricted morphisms introduced in our earlier work. We provide a full…
This article is devoted to the study of smooth desingularization, which are customary employed in the definition of De Rham Intersection Cohomology with differential forms. In this paper we work with the category of Thom-Mather simple…
