<p>Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold. By definition, $Pic(X)={\rm H^1}(X,\mathcal{O}^\times)$. We know a lot about this group. What is known about the groups ${\rm H^n}(X,\mathcal{O}^\times)$ for $n\ge 2$? </p> <p>A bit more specialized question. It is well known that for a nonsingular projective complex variety $X$ the natural map $${\rm H^1}(X,\mathcal{O}^\times)\to{\rm H^1}(X,\mathcal{M}^\times)$$ is trivial. What is known about the kernel of the same map for $n=2$ or $n=3$? (Here $\mathcal{M}^\times$ is the sheaf of nonzero meromorphic functions, and the topology is the strong one).</p>

<p>First of all, it probably depends on how you define $H^1(X, \mathcal{O}^\times)$. I don't see any reason why derived functor cohomology should agree here with Cech cohomology. </p> <p>I think that $H^i(X, \mathcal{O}^\times)$ is a functor of order $i+1$ in the sense of Mumford "Abelian Varieties" (2.6, Remark preceding the proof of the theorem of the cube), at least for complex projective varieties. That is, there is a higher analogue of the theorem of the cube for $H^i(X, \mathcal{O}^\times)$. For this, we look at the exponential sequence as in the aforementioned Remark. </p>
