We use noncommutative differential forms (which were first introduced by Connes) to construct a noncommutative version of the complex of Cenkl and PorterΩ∗,∗(X)for a simplicial setX. The algebraΩ∗,∗(X)is a differential graded algebra with a filtrationΩ∗,q(X)⊂Ω∗,q+1(X), such thatΩ∗,q(X)is aℚq-module, whereℚ0=ℚ1=ℤandℚq=ℤ[1/2,…,1/q]forq>1. Then we use noncommutative versions of the Poincaré lemma and Stokes' theorem to prove the noncommutative tame de Rham theorem: ifXis a simplicial set of finite type, then for eachq≥1and anyℚq-moduleM, integration of forms induces a natural isomorphism ofℚq-modulesI:Hi(Ω∗,q(X),M)→Hi(X;M)for alli≥0. Next, we introduce a complex of noncommutative tame de Rham currentsΩ∗,∗(X)and we prove the noncommutative tame de Rham theorem for homology: ifXis a simplicial set of finite type, then for eachq≥1and anyℚq-moduleM, there is a natural isomorphism ofℚq-modulesI:Hi(X;M)→Hi(Ω∗,q(X),M)for alli≥0.

AbstractFor a simply connected solvable Lie group G with a lattice Γ, the author constructed an explicit finite-dimensional differential graded algebra A*Γ which computes the complex valued de Rham cohomology H*(Γ\G, C) of the solvmanifold Γ\G. In this note, we give a quick introduction to the construction of such A*Γ including a simple proof of H*(A*Γ) ≅ H*(Γ\G, C).

This chapter investigates differential graded algebras. Throughout the chapter, G will be a Lie group with Lie algebra g. On a manifold M, the de Rham complex is a differential graded algebra, a graded algebra that is also a differential complex. If the Lie group G acts smoothly on M, then the de Rham complex Ω‎(M) is more than a differential graded algebra. It has in addition two actions of the Lie algebra: interior multiplication and the Lie derivative. A differential graded algebra Ω‎ with an interior multiplication and a Lie derivative satisfying Cartan's homotopy formula is called a g-differential graded algebra. To construct an algebraic model for equivariant cohomology, the chapter first constructs an algebraic model for the total space EG of the universal G-bundle. It is a g-differential graded algebra called the Weil algebra.

In this paper we consider a decomposition of tangentially differential forms with respect to the lifted foliation [Formula: see text] to the tangent bundle of a Lagrange space [Formula: see text] endowed with a regular foliation [Formula: see text]. First, starting from a natural decomposition of the tangential exterior derivative along the leaves of [Formula: see text], we define some vertical tangential cohomology groups of the foliated manifold [Formula: see text], we prove a Poincaré lemma for the vertical tangential derivative and we obtain a de Rham theorem for this cohomology. Next, in a classical way, we construct vertical tangential characteristic classes of tangentially smooth complex bundles over the foliated manifold [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe show that the Poincaré lemma we proved elsewhere in the context of crystalline cohomology of higher level behaves well with regard to the Hodge filtration. This allows us to prove the Poincaré lemma for transversal crystals of level m. We interpret the de Rham complex in terms of what we call the Berthelot-Lieberman construction and show how the same construction can be used to study the conormal complex and invariant differential forms of higher level for a group scheme. Bringing together both instances of the construction, we show that crystalline extensions of transversal crystals by algebraic groups can be computed by reduction to the filtered de Rham complexes. Our theory does not ignore torsion and, unlike in the classical case (m = 0), not all invariant forms are closed. Therefore, close invariant differential forms of level m provide new invariants and we exhibit some examples as applications.

Abstract We use rational formality of configuration spaces and the bar construction to study the cohomology of the space of braids in dimension four or greater. We provide a diagram complex for braids and a quasi-isomorphism to the de Rham cochains on the space of braids. The quasi-isomorphism is given by a configuration space integral followed by Chen’s iterated integrals. This extends results of Kohno and of Cohen and Gitler on the cohomology of the space of braids to a commutative differential graded algebra suitable for integration. We show that this integration is compatible with Bott–Taubes configuration space integrals for long links via a map between two diagram complexes. As a corollary, we get a surjection in cohomology from the space of long links to the space of braids. We also discuss to what extent our results apply to the case of classical braids.

In the context of commutative differential graded algebras over [Formula: see text], we show that an iteration of “odd spherical fibration” creates a “total space” commutative differential graded algebra with only odd degree cohomology. Then we show for such a commutative differential graded algebra that, for any of its “fibrations” with “fiber” of finite cohomological dimension, the induced map on cohomology is injective.

The de Rham theorem gives a natural isomorphism between De Rham cohomology and singular cohomology on a paracompact differentiable manifold. We proved this theorem on a wider family of subsets of Euclidean space, on which we can define inner differentiability. Here we define this family of sets called tangentially locally linearly independent sets, propose inner differentiability on them, postulate usual properties of differentiable real functions and show that the integration over sets that are wider than manifolds is possible.

Abstract An equivariant disconnected Sullivan–de Rham equivalence is developed using Kan's result on diagram categories. Given a finite Hamiltonian group G, let X be a G-simplicial set. It is shown that the associated system of algebras indexed by the category 𝒪(G) of a canonical orbit can be “approximated” (up to a weak equivalence) by such a system ℳ X with the properties required by nonequivariant minimal algebras.

We discuss canonical representations of the de Rham cohomology on a compact manifold with boundary. They are obtained by minimising the energy integral in a Hilbert space of differential forms that belong along with the exterior derivative to the domain of the adjoint operator. The corresponding Euler- Lagrange equations reduce to an elliptic boundary value problem on the manifold, which is usually referred to as the Neumann problem after Spencer
