A branch of algebraic topology concerning the study of cocycles and coboundaries. It is in some sense a dual theory to homology theory. This tag can be further specialized by using it in conjunction with the tags group-cohomology, etale-cohomology, sheaf-cohomology, galois-cohomology, lie-algebra-cohomology, motivic-cohomology, equivariant-cohomology, ...

Finding cocycles that square to zero

To manage the higher cases one has to also ask that certain higher cohomology classes are equal, where the higher cohomology classes are made out of iterated cup-1 products of lower ones. … In particular you can extend every odd cohomology class on $SU(n)$ to a twisting sequence. …

Dual surfaces of a first cohomology class of a 3-manifold

$L(4,1)$ is a counterexample to your conjecture, taking $\alpha$ to be the nontrivial element of $H^1(L;\Bbb Z/2)$. Notice that this element squares to zero (the square is the same as the Bockstein, a …

What is this cochain complex about, whose $H^1 = \mathbb{R}$?

H^i(C) \to H^i(\overline C) \to \cdots$$ Now the group cohomology of the integers, $H^i(C)$, is $\Bbb Z$ in degrees $0$ and $1$ and is zero otherwise. … In general your complex $C$ interpolates the usual group cohomology and the bounded cohomology. …
