Classification of line bundles by second cohomology of a manifold

In the book Loop spaces, Characteristic classes and geometric quantization by Brylinski I see following result when trying to motivate geometric description of $H^3(M,\mathbb{Z})$. $H^2(M,\mathbb{ …

De Rham cohomology of Lie groupoid

Let $G$ be a Lie group acting on a manifold $M$. Consider the transformation groupoid $\mathcal{G}=(G\times M\rightrightarrows M)$. We have the notion of de Rham cohomology of a Lie groupoid by con …

Models for computing cohomology of Lie groupoids

Given a Lie groupoid $\mathcal{G}=[\mathcal{G}_1\rightrightarrows \mathcal{G}_0]$, let $\mathcal{G}_\bullet$ be the associated simplicial manifold. Let $\Omega^\bullet(\mathcal{G}_\bullet)$ be the a …

De Rham cohomology of Lie groupoid

Proposition $13$ and Remark $16$ in page $10$ of Cohomology or Stacks says that, there is a natural isomorphism $$H^i_G(X)\rightarrow H^i(X\times G\rightrightarrows X)$$ where, $H^i_G(X)$ is the $i^ …

Easier ways to compute homology/cohomology by adding extra structure

Suppose $X$ is a topological space and I want to talk about its “homology”. There is this notion of singular homology obtained from singular chain complex. This is not very easy to compute. Suppose …

Sheaf / de Rham cohomology of a stack with values in a complex of abelian sheaves

I am reading Differentiable Stacks and Gerbes to understand about (hyper) cohomology groups of a stack $\mathcal{X}$ with values in a complex $\mathcal{M}$ of abelian sheaves over $\mathcal{X}$. Reca …
