De Rham cohomology

In mathematics, de Rham cohomology (named after Georges de Rham) is a tool belonging both to algebraic topology and to differential topology, capable of expressing basic topological information about smooth manifolds in a form particularly adapted to computation and the concrete representation of cohomology classes. It is a cohomology theory based on the existence of differential forms with prescribed properties. On any smooth manifold, every exact form is closed, but the converse may fail to hold. Roughly speaking, this failure is related to the possible existence of "holes" in the manifold, and the de Rham cohomology groups comprise a set of topological invariants of smooth manifolds that precisely quantify this relationship. The integration on forms concept is of fundamental importance in differential topology, geometry, and physics, and also yields one of the most important examples of cohomology, namely de Rham cohomology, which (roughly speaking) measures precisely the extent to which the fundamental theorem of calculus fails in higher dimensions and on general manifolds. — Terence Tao, Differential Forms and Integration (Wikipedia).

Voisin Claire "From Analysis situs to the theory of periods"

Résumé The talk will focus on the pairing between singular homology and de Rham cohomology: Combinatorics of cells of a triangulation on one side, differential forms on the other side. The two aspects of the subject were already present in Poincaré's work, but the fact that this pairing i

B. Bhatt - Prisms and deformations of de Rham cohomology

Prisms are generalizations of perfectoid rings to a setting where "Frobenius need not be an isomorphism". I will explain the definition and use it to construct a prismatic site for any scheme. The resulting prismatic cohomology often gives a one-parameter deformation of de Rham cohomology.

Vladimir Berkovich: de Rham theorem in non-Archimedean analytic geometry

Abstract: In my work in progress on complex analytic vanishing cycles for formal schemes, I have defined integral "etale" cohomology groups of a compact strictly analytic space over the field of Laurent power series with complex coefficients. These are finitely generated abelian groups pro

Arthur Ogus - Prisms, prismatic neighborhoods, and p-de Rham cohomology

Correction: The affiliation of Lei Fu is Tsinghua University. Prismatic cohomology, as proposed by B. Bhatt and P. Scholze, provides a uniform framework for many of the cohomoogy theories involved in p-adic Hodge theory. I will focus on the crystalline incarnation of prismatic cohomology
