In this paper we introduce a new definition of the first non-abelian cohomology of topological groups.  We relate the cohomology of a normal subgroup $N$ of a topological group $G$ and the quotient $G/N$ to the cohomology of $G$. We get the inflation-restriction exact sequence. Also, we obtain a seven-term exact cohomology sequence up to dimension 2. We give an interpretation of the first non-a...

Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...

HOMOTOPY THEORY AND GENERALIZED SHEAF COHOMOLOGY BY KENNETHS. BROWN0) ABSTRACT. Cohomology groups Ha(X, E) are defined, where X is a topological space and £ is a sheaf on X with values in Kan's category of spectra. These groups generalize the ordinary cohomology groups of X with coefficients in an abelian sheaf, as well as the generalized cohomology of X in the usual sense. The groups are defin...

LetM be a closed, connected, orientable topological four-manifold with H1(M) nontrivial and free abelian, b2(M) 6= 0, 2, and χ(M) 6= 0. Then the only finite groups which admit homologically trivial, locally linear, effective actions on M are cyclic. The proof uses equivariant cohomology, localization, and a careful study of the first cohomology groups of the (potential) singular set.

We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...

We prove that Alexander–Spanier cohomology H(X;G) with coefficients in a topological Abelian group G is isomorphic to the group of isomorphism classes of principal bundles with certain Abelian structure groups. The result holds if either X is a CW-space and G arbitrary or if X is metrizable or compact Hausdorff and G an ANR.
