Subject: Re: clarification on question From: Peter Landweber Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:46:44 -0400 Kevin, Konstantin Mischaikow is now at Rutgers, so I know his use of cubical homology. In addition to the book he has written with his coauthors, you can probably locate some articles they have written on cubical homology (and so also cohomology). You can certainly think of this as cellular homology and cohomology, where cubes of various dimensions are the cells; thus you can cite your favorite source for cellular (co)homology.

I am looking up some of these references now, but as I have gone through some of them, I should clarify what I am looking for. For instance, I checked out Serre's thesis but unfortunately it's not what I need. His cubical cohomology is a variant of SINGULAR cohomology, not SIMPLICIAL cohomology. For Serre, chains are generated by maps from a standard cube into the space (a sort of singular cubical homology results). What I need is a notion of a cubical complex (by analogy to a simplicial complex), where the chains are generated by the cells of the complex. This is more combinatorial, and the chain groups are finite dimensional. In my case, I have a polytope made up of cubes and I am actually working on the cochain level explicitly (this turns out to classify certain aspects of representations of a certain Lie superalgebra). >
