Questions tagged [cohomology]
A branch of algebraic topology concerning the study of cocycles and coboundaries. It is in some sense a dual theory to homology theory. This tag can be further specialized by using it in conjunction with the tags group-cohomology, etale-cohomology, sheaf-cohomology, galois-cohomology, lie-algebra-cohomology, motivic-cohomology, equivariant-cohomology, ...

Confusion regarding the vanishing of certain relative cohomology groups
Let $X$ be a projective variety of dimension $n$ and $D \subset X$ is a proper subvariety. Embed $X$ into a projective space $\mathbb{P}^{3n}$. The following argument implies that $H^i(X,X\backslash D)...

Cohomology of a differentiable stack: evaluation at a point
I'm reading these Behrend's notes on cohomology of stacks, and I can't get over a detail in the fourth page.
Let $X_\bullet=(X_1\rightrightarrows X_0)$ be a Lie groupoid and let $\mathcal{N}$ be its ...

Variant of Leray-Hirsch for complex-oriented cohomology theory
I am interested in a variant of the Leray-Hirsch theorem. Let $\mathbb{E}^*$ be a complex-oriented cohomology theory and let $\mathbb{E}_*$ the coefficient ring. Suppose that $F \xrightarrow{i} P \to ...

Minimal Model for $\mathbb{CP}^2 \# \mathbb{CP}^2 \# \mathbb{CP}^2$
I'm a grad student studying non-negative curvature on simply-connected manifolds and the conjectured relationship with rational homotopy theory.
The rational homotopy groups (and so the number of ...

How can we construct a non-trivial central extension of a Lie group
Let $G$ be a connected and simply connected Lie group with its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Assume that $[c]\in H^2 (\mathfrak{g};\mathbb{R})$ is a non-trivial 2-cocycle. Then we can construct a non-...

Koszul cohomology associated with a regular sequence
Let $A$ be a local Noetherian ring and $M$ be an $A$-module. Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $A$ generated by a regular $M$-sequence $s_1,\cdots,s_r$. Let $K_\bullet(s_1,\cdots,s_r;M)$ be the Koszul ...

Why do symmetries of K3 surfaces lie in the Mathieu group $M_{24}$?
I'm having trouble following some steps of this argument from the appendix of Eguchi, Ooguri and Tachikawa's paper Notes on the K3 surface and the Mathieu group M24:
Now let us recall that the ...

Does coproduct preserve cohomology in differential graded algebra category
Consider two cochain DGA (differential graded algebras) named $A$ and $B$. By "coproduct" of two DGA I mean the category theory coproduct, not the coalgebra coproduct. It is defined in "...

Are there any relations between perverse t-structure (cohomologies) and standard t-structure (cohomologies)?
I'm reading the Corollary 3.2.3. in Exponential motives by J. Fresan and P. Jossen.
The authors use the following statement in the proof of Corollary 3.2.3: let $C$ be any object in the derived ...

Cohomological dimension of functors from fields to vector spaces
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. Denote by $\mathcal F_d$ the category of extensions $K\to F$ of transcendent degree $d$.(Objects are pairs $F,j$ consisting of a field $F$ and the embedding $...

About Čech cohomology in transformation groups
I'm starting a study about theory of transformation groups and equivariant cohomology, in what I read several times that Čech cohomology is the most compatible with this theory, but until now I haven'...

In Mann's six-functor formalism, do diagrams with the forget-supports map commute?
One of the main goals in formalizing six-functor formalisms is to obtain some sort of "coherence theorem", affirming that "every diagram that should commute, commutes". In these ...
