Relative and absolute Ext groups
Given a homomorphism of rings $S \rightarrow R$, for a pair of $R$-modules $M, N$ the machinery of relative homological algebra defines relative $Ext$-groups
$Ext_{R, S}(M, N)$.
These can be defined, ...

nPOV: Cohomology and derived functors
In the nPOV, cohomology is realized as the connected component of the derived hom space [1]. Namely,
$$H^n(X,Y) = \pi_0 \mathbb{H}(X,B^nY),$$
where $\mathbb{H}$ is an $(\infty,1)$-topos and $B$ is the ...
