How to define cohomology of algebraic structures?
I learned that the Hochschild cohomology of an associative algebra $A$ with a bimodule $M$ is defined using the cochain
\begin{align*}
\cdots \rightarrow C^n(A,M) \stackrel{d^n}{\longrightarrow} C^{n+...

Computing (relative) cohomology classes on quotient (vector) space via Hodge theorem
I am working on a graded vector space $V = \bigoplus_{i\in \mathbb{N}}V_i$ (which is a parabolic Verma module in the sense of [1], but let's ignore such specifics) with a positive definite inner ...

On a claim of Zagier on extending a map to cocycle
Zagier, in his paper 'Some Surprising Consequences of the Cohomology of SL$_2(\bf{ Z})$' (link, p. 6), studies the action of $\Gamma=PSL_2(\bf Z)$ on a vector space $V$, denoting the action by $v\ |\ \...
