Singular chains generated by manifolds with corners --- does it really work?

Usually we define singular homology via the complex of singular chains: $$C_\ast(X)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}\mathbb Z\langle\sigma:\Delta^n\to X\rangle$$ where the right hand side denotes the free abelian ...

Pairing of cohomology and homology Künneth formulas

Let $k$ be a field, and let $X$ and $Y$ be CW-complexes of finite type (although the question makes sense for $k$ a ring and for more general chain complexes of finitely generated free abelian groups)....

On the multiplicative structure in spectral sequences.

Let $f\colon X \rightarrow Y$ be a continuous map of sufficiently nice topological spaces (say, smooth manifolds). Let ${\cal F}=(\dots\rightarrow F_i \rightarrow F_{i+1}\to \dots)$ be a bounded ...

Grothendieck spectral sequence (cohomology version) for posets with functor coefficient

In this paper, Quillen mentioned a spectral sequence as follows. Let $f:X\to Y$ is a poset map and $\mathcal{F}:X\to Ab$, where $Ab$ is the category of abelian groups, a functor which is contravariant ...

An account of "Homologie nicht-additiver Funktoren. Anwendungen"'s results

Is there an account in English of results from "Homologie nicht-additiver Funktoren. Anwendungen" by Dold and Puppe? I am mostly interested in the spectral sequence of cross-effects which ...

Explicit computation of hyper Ext in terms of the homologies of the input chain complexes

This question was asked on math.stackexchange and didn't receive any traction, so I'm turning to the MO community. Hello! Let $C_{\bullet}$ and $D_{\bullet}$ be chain complexes of $R$-modules for some ...

On the Hochschild cohomology of the minimal model of an $A_\infty$ algebra

Suppose $(A, (\mu_k))$ is a (curved) $A_\infty$ algebra, and let $(\tilde A, (\tilde\mu_k))$ be its minimal model. Now, we have two Hochschild cohomology rings $HH^*(A)$ and $HH^*(\tilde A)$. (It may ...

Functoriality of Leray homology spectral sequences of fibrations

Let $p\colon E\to B$ and $p'\colon E'\to B'$ be two fibrations. Assume for simplicity that $B,B'$ are simply connected. Let we have morphism of these fibrations, i.e. two continuous maps $$f\colon E\...

Reference request for a "truncated version" of the de Rham algebra

Let's start on the $n$-torus for sake of simplicity.$\newcommand{\T}{\mathbb T}$ If I understand the relevant definitions correctly, the usual de Rham algebra of smooth differential forms on $\T^n$ is ...

Zeroth cohomology of tensor product of complexes concentrated in nonpositive degrees

This is probably an easy problem, but I can't find any reference. Let $V$ and $W$ be cochain complexes over some commutative ring, and assume that they have both cohomologies concentrated in ...
