Abstract

A theory of (co)homologies related to set-theoretic nn-simplex relations is constructed in analogy with the known quandle and Yang--Baxter (co)homologies, with emphasis made on the tetrahedron case. In particular, this permits us to generalize Hietarinta's idea of "permutation-type" solutions to the quantum (or "tensor") nn-simplex equations. Explicit examples of solutions to the tetrahedron equation involving nontrivial cocycles are presented.
