After introducing some cohomology classes as obstructions to orientation and spin structures etc., we explain some applications of cohomology to physical problems, in special to reduced holonomy in M- and F-theory.

We develop a formalism of cohomological descent encoding adelic points and obstructions to local-global principle on algebraic stacks. As an application, by constructing new obstructions using the formalism, we obtain some comparison…

This is an extensive survey of the techniques used to formulate generalizations of the Mittag-Leffler Theorem from complex analysis. With the techniques of the theory of differential forms, sheaves and cohomology, we are able to define the…

Recent work by Abramsky and Brandenburger used sheaf theory to give a mathematical formulation of non-locality and contextuality. By adopting this viewpoint, it has been possible to define cohomological obstructions to the existence of…

We consider local-global principles for rational points on varieties, in particular torsors, over one-variable function fields over complete discretely valued fields. There are several notions of such principles, arising either from the…

In cohomological formulations of the calculus of variations obstructions to the existence of (global) solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations can arise in principle. It seems, however, quite common to assume that such obstructions always…

In the holomorphic or algebraic setting we consider a vector bundle E on a smooth subvariety X in a smooth variety Y over a field of characteristic zero. Assuming E extends to the l-th neighborhood of X in Y, we study cohomological…

We relate cohomology defined by a system of local Lagrangian with the cohomology class of the system of local variational Lie derivative, which is in turn a local variational problem; we show that the latter cohomology class is zero, since…

We model problems as presheaves that assign sets of certificates to input instances, and we show how to use presheaf \v{C}ech cohomology to capture the precise ways in which local solutions fail to patch into global ones. Applied to…

We discuss the notion of basic cohomology for Dirac structures and, more generally, Lie algebroids. We then use this notion to characterize the obstruction to a variational formulation of Dirac dynamics.

This paper gives a uniform, self-contained and direct approach to a variety of obstruction-theoretic problems on manifolds of dimension 7 and 6. We give necessary and sufficient cohomological criteria for the existence of various…

In this article, we study the obstructions to the local-global principle for homogeneous spaces with connected or abelian stabilizers over finite extensions of the field $\mathbb{C}((x,y))$ of Laurent series in two variables over the…

Cohomology of the variational bicomplex in the calculus of variations in classical field theory are computed in the class of exteriror forms of finite jet order. This provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the finite order…

Within the frame of a Group Approach to Quantization anomalies arise in a quite natural way. We present in this talk an analysis of the basic obstructions that can be found when we try to translate symmetries of the Newton equations to the…

We propose a produre of reduction a locally conformal symplectic structure. This procedure of reduction can be applied to wide class of submanifolds. There are no local obstructions for this procedure. But there are global obstructions. We…

We provide the full classification, in arbitrary even and odd dimensions, of global conformal invariants, i.e., scalar densities in the spacetime metric and its derivatives that are invariant, possibly up to a total derivative, under local…

In [1] it was shown that the Kochen Specker theorem can be written in terms of the non-existence of global elements of a certain varying set over the partially ordered set of boolean subalgebras of projection operators on some Hilbert…

This paper introduces a new class of variational inequalities where the obstacle is placed in the exterior domain that is disjoint from the observation domain. This is carried out with the help of nonlocal fractional operators. The need for…

Time does not obviously appear amongst the coordinates on the constrained phase space of general relativity in the Hamiltonian formulation. Recent work in finite-dimensional models claims that topological obstructions generically make the…

We present a general theorem which computes the cohomology of a homological vector field on global sections of vector bundles over smooth affine supervarieties. The hypotheses and results have the clear flavor of a localization theorem.
