Singular Cohomology
A type of cohomology theory that assigns a cohomology group to each integer dimension, using singular simplices and cochains.
De Rham Cohomology
De Rham cohomology uses differential forms on manifolds and has important applications in differential geometry and mathematical physics.
Čech Cohomology
A cohomology theory based on the notion of covering spaces and provides tools for computing sheaf cohomology.
Sheaf Cohomology
Sheaf cohomology is a method of assigning to each sheaf of abelian groups on a topological space a sequence of abelian cohomology groups, revealing global properties from local conditions.
Group Cohomology
Group cohomology measures the extent to which a group acts non-trivially on -modules and can be used to classify group extensions.
Cohomology Ring
The cohomology ring is an algebraic structure that is the direct sum of the cohomology groups of a space, with a graded ring structure given by the cup product.
Alexander-Spanier Cohomology
A cohomology theory similar to singular cohomology but uses locally-defined cochains, developed by J.W. Alexander and E.H. Spanier.
Equivariant Cohomology
Equivariant cohomology is a generalization of ordinary cohomology that takes into account group actions; it is often used in the context of G-spaces.
Floer Cohomology
Floer cohomology provides invariants of 3-manifolds and the symplectic topology of 4-manifolds, and is inspired by the study of solutions to certain partial differential equations.
Etale Cohomology
Etale cohomology is a tool in algebraic geometry for studying the properties of schemes, particularly over fields other than the complex numbers, by means of sheaves defined with respect to the étale topology.
