Motivated by problems in which data are given over covering generating families, we suggest a new cohomology theory for diffeological spaces, called diffeological \v{C}ech cohomology, which is an exact $ \partial $-functor of the section…
The original de Rham cohomology due to Souriau and the singular cohomology in diffeology are not isomorphic to each other in general. This manuscript introduces a singular de Rham complex endowed with an integration map into the singular…
We prove a version of the Mayer-Vietoris sequence for De Rham differential forms in diffeological spaces. It is based on the notion of a generating family instead of that of a covering by open subsets.
This paper addresses the question: What is the de Rham theory for general differentiable spaces? We identify two potential answers and study them. In the first part, we show that the de Rham cohomology calculated using (the completion of)…
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…
The study of differential forms that are closed but not exact reveals important information about the global topology of a manifold, encoded in the de Rham cohomology groups $H^k(M)$, named after Georges de Rham (1903-1990). This expository…
Diffeological and differential spaces are generalisations of smooth structures on manifolds. We show that the "intersection" of these two categories is isomorphic to Fr\"olicher spaces, another generalisation of smooth structures. We then…
A classical result in differential geometry states that for a free and proper Lie group action, the quotient map to the orbit space induces an isomorphism between the de Rham complex of differential forms on the orbit space and the basic…
We introduce smooth L^\infty differential forms on a singular (semialgebraic) set X in R^n. Roughly speaking, a smooth L^\infty differential form is a certain class of equivalence of 'stratified forms', that is, a collection of smooth forms…
Diffeological spaces are natural generalizations of smooth manifolds, introduced by J.M.~Souriau and his mathematical group in the 1980's. Diffeological vector spaces (especially fine diffeological vector spaces) were first used by P.…
In this paper we define and study a notion of discrete homology theory for metric spaces. Instead of working with simplicial homology, our chain complexes are given by Lipschitz maps from an $n$-dimensional cube to a fixed metric space. We…
We construct an explicit de Rham isomorphism relating the cohomology rings of Banagl's de Rham and spatial approach to intersection space cohomology for stratified pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. Intersection space…
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…
We show that the differential structure of the orbit space of a proper action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold is continuously reflexive. This implies that the orbit space is a differentiable space in the sense of Smith, which ensures…
In [1] it was shown that K^, a certain differential cohomology functor associated to complex K-theory, satisfies the Mayer-Vietoris property when the underlying manifold is compact. It turns out that this result is quite general. The work…

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…
The aim of this article is to derive discontinuous finite elements vector spaces which can be put in a discrete de-Rham complex for which an harmonic gap property may be proven. First, discontinuous finite element spaces inspired by…
A "Chen space" is a set X equipped with a collection of "plots" - maps from convex sets to X - satisfying three simple axioms. While an individual Chen space can be much worse than a smooth manifold, the category of all Chen spaces is much…
We define two different versions of the relative De Rham cohomology groups of a diffeological space. Additionally, we study a variant of the Mayer-Vietoris sequence and discuss the existence of a relative cup product. Our approach is…
