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, ...

Why study Higher Sheaf Cohomology?

Sure, one can talk about Cech cohomology for a good cover; $H^3(X,\mathcal F)$, for example, is about lifting sections defined on quadruple-intersections to triple-intersections. … rightarrow \mathcal A/\mathcal F \rightarrow 0 $$ is exact and therefore by long exact sequence coming from this, $$ H^{p}(X,\mathcal F) \cong H^{p-1}(X,\mathcal A / \mathcal F)$$ and therefore higher cohomology
