The paper compares two notions of invariance in Hochschild cohomology spaces.

The aim of the present paper is to define a notion of weakly differentiable cochain in the generality of metric measure spaces and to study basic properties of such cochains. Our cochains are (sub-)linear functionals on a subspace of chains, and a suitable notion of chains in metric spaces is given by Ambrosio-Kirchhei…

Let $G$ be a group and $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$. There exists the group extension $G$ of $G/N$ by $N$. For a $G$-module $A$ which $N$ acts on trivially and a $G$-invariant homomorphism on $N$ to $A$, we obtain a central extension of $G/N$ by $A$. By using connection cochains, we exhibit the formula of its extens…

The abstract describes a strategy to construct reduced Khovanov homology for links in lens spaces.

Virtual index cocycles reformulate virtual link invariants.

We characterize Lie group actions for which there exists, at least locally, an evaluation map that defines a cochain map from the differential complex of invariant forms on a manifold to the De Rham complex for the quotient.

We propose a general notion of algebraic gauge theory obtained via extracting the main properties of classical gauge theory. Building on a recent work on transferring curved $A_{\infty}$-structures we show that, under certain technical conditions, algebraic gauge theories can be transferred along chain contractions. Sp…

Paper explores connection cochain in abelian extensions and its relation to connection forms.

Let K be the space of long j-knots in R^n. In this paper we introduce a graph complex D and a linear map I from D to the de Rham complex of K via configuration space integral, and prove that (1) when both n>j>=3 are odd, the map I is a cochain map if restricted to graphs with at most one loop component, (2) when n-j>=2…

We describe algorithms for finding harmonic cochains, an essential ingredient for solving elliptic partial differential equations in exterior calculus. Harmonic cochains are also useful in computational topology and computer graphics. We focus on finding harmonic cochains cohomologous to a given cocycle. Amongst other …

Seidel and Smith have constructed an invariant of links as the Floer cohomology for two Lagrangians inside a complex affine variety Y. This variety is the intersection of a semisimple orbit with a transverse slice at a nilpotent in the Lie algebra $sl_{2m}.$ We exhibit bijections between a set of generators for the Sei…

In this paper we develop several algebraic structures on the simplicial cochains of a triangulated manifold that are analogues of objects in differential geometry. We study a cochain product and prove several statements about its convergence to the wedge product on differential forms. Also, for cochains with an inner p…

New method compares geometric and standard cup products.

Let X be a pseudomanifold. In this text, we use a simplicial blow-up to define a cochain complex whose cohomology with coefficients in a field, is isomorphic to the intersection cohomology of X, introduced by M. Goresky and R. MacPherson. We do it simplicially in the setting of a filtered version of face sets, also cal…

We develop the intersection theory at relative chain-cochain level, and apply it along with the use of Seifert disks for an oriented link to give a combinatorial algorithm to compute Massey's higher order linking numbers. It is subtle to compute higher-order linking numbers, and it has been a folklore to use the inters…

Geometrically interprets a duality theorem linking cochain and chain complexes.

A fundamental theorem of Wolfe isometrically identifies the space of flat differential forms of dimension $m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the space of flat $m$-cochains, that is, the dual space of flat chains of dimension $m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The main purpose of the present paper is to generalize Wolfe's theorem to the se…

The paper discusses $q$-deformations of the Aomoto complex.

The Wodzicki residue and the cut-off integral extend to classical symbol-valued forms. We show that they obey a Stokes' type property and that the extended Wodzicki residue can be interpreted as a complex residue like the ordinary one. In the case of cut-off integrals, Stokes' property (i.e. vanishing on exact forms) o…

We construct a pair of transverse genuine laminations on an atoroidal 3-manifold admitting transversely orientable uniform 1-cochain. The laminations are induced by the uniform 1-cochain and they are indeed the "straightening" of the coarse laminations defined in [Ca], by using minimal surface techniques. Moreover, whe…

Paper constructs Thom-Smale complex using instantons from Morse functions.

VB-groupoids define a special class of Lie groupoids which carry a compatible linear structure. In this paper, we show that their differentiable cohomology admits a refinement by considering the complex of cochains which are k-homogeneous on the linear fiber. Our main result is a Van Est theorem for such cochains. We a…

The paper computes KV cochain differentials and their geometric implications.

Paper bridges matching rules and height functions in aperiodic tilings.

We prove a cyclic cohomological analogue of Haefliger's van Est-type theorem for the groupoid of germs of diffeomorphisms of a manifold. The differentiable version of cyclic cohomology is associated to the algebra of transverse differential operators on that groupoid, which is shown to carry an intrinsic Hopf algebraic…

This work redefines data-centric AI by unifying categorical and cochain notions.

In this paper we study some new von Neumann spectral invariants associated to the Laplacian acting on L^2 differential forms on the universal cover of a closed manifold. These invariants coincide with the Novikov-Shubin invariants whenever there is no spectral gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian, and are homotopy inva…

Spatial refinement of Bar-Natan homology constructed.

We prove that the algebra of singular cochains on a smooth manifold, equipped with the cup product, is equivalent to the A-infinity structure on the Lagrangian Floer cochain group associated to the zero section in the cotangent bundle. More generally, given a pair of smooth manifolds of the same dimension with embeddin…

n this paper we define an invariant of a pair of 6 dimensional symplectic %optional manifold with vanishing 1st Chern class and its Lagrangian submanifold with vanishing Maslov index. This invariant is a function on the set of the path connected components of the bounding cochains (solution of A infinity version of Mau…

New invariant for spin 3-manifolds using super 3-cocycles.

Motivated by families of formal moduli problems, in this note we generalize the notion of L-infinity space by allowing sheaves of L-infinity algebras over any (reasonable) nilpotent dg manifold. We discuss various examples including those coming from Lie algebroids. Given a Lie algebroid, we show that there is an L-inf…

New complexes derived from any filtered cochain complex compute the same cohomology.

Let X be a topological space, and let C(X) be the complex of singular cochains on X with real coefficients. We denote by Cc(X) the subcomplex given by continuous cochains, i.e. by such cochains whose restriction to the space of simplices (endowed with the compact-open topology) defines a continuous real function. We pr…

Infinitesimal calculations link fundamental groups to Lie algebras.

Our main objective is to demonstrate how homological perturbation theory (HPT) results over the last 40 years immediately or with little extra work give some of the Koszul duality results that have appeared in the last decade. Higher homotopies typically arise when a huge object, e. g. a chain complex defining various …

Invariants measure letter interleaving in groups, detecting group dimensions.

Many quantum groups and quantum spaces of interest can be obtained by cochain (but not cocycle) twist from their corresponding classical object. This failure of the cocycle condition implies a hidden nonassociativity in the noncommutative geometry already known to be visible at the level of differential forms. We exten…
