Higher Čech Theory

چکیده
We introduce a notion of ‘cover of level n’ for a topological space, or more generally any Grothendieck site, with the key property that simplicial homotopy classes computed along the filtered diagram of n-covers biject with global homotopy classes when the target is an n-type. When the target is an Eilenberg–MacLane sheaf, this specializes to computing derived functor cohomology, up to degree n, via simplicial homotopy classes taken along n-covers. Our approach is purely simplicial and combinatorial.

Cut Points in Čech-stone Remainders
We investigate cut points of subcontinua of βR \ R. We find, under CH, the topologically smallest type of subset of R that can support such a cut point. On the other hand we answer Question 66 of Hart and van Mill’s Open problems on βω [Open Problems in Topology (J. van Mill and G. M. Reed, eds.), North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1990, pp. 97–125] by showing that it is consistent that all cut points a...
متن کاملSmoothly Parameterised Čech Cohomology of Complex Manifolds
A Stein covering of a complex manifold may be used to realise its analytic cohomology in accordance with the Čech theory. If, however, the Stein covering is parameterised by a smooth manifold rather than just a discrete set, then we construct a cohomology theory in which an exterior derivative replaces the usual combinatorial Čech differential. Our construction is motivated by integral geometry...

متن کاملN-fold Čech Derived Functors and Generalised Hopf Type Formulas
In 1988, Brown and Ellis published [3] a generalised Hopf formula for the higher homology of a group. Although substantially correct, their result lacks one necessary condition. We give here a counterexample to the result without that condition. The main aim of this paper is, however, to generalise this corrected result to derive formulae of Hopf type for the n-fold Čech derived functors of the...
