 Cohomology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, specifically in algebraic topology, cohomology is a general term for a sequence of abelian groups defined from a cochain complex.
That is, cohomology is defined as the abstract study of cochains, cocycles and coboundaries.
A cohomology theory is a family of contravariant functors from the category of pairs of topological spaces and continuous functions (or some subcategory thereof such as the category of CW complexes) to the category of Abelian groups and group homomorphisms that satisfies the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms

The idea of Khovanov homology is to associate a cochain complex to a link diagram whose homology is a link invariant and whose graded Euler characteristic is the Jones polynomial.
Here is my prefered way: a complex line bundle-with-connection consists of a familty of one dimensional vector spaces (fibres) parametrized by some space (the base space) together with a rule for "parallel transporting" fibres along paths in the base space.
By this I mean a complex line bundle over the "space" of n-manifolds in some space X together with a rule for parallel transporting fibres over n+1-cobordisms in X. The rule for parallel transport should depend only on the homotopy class (mod boundary) of the cobordism.

G-algebras arose in M.Gerstenhaber’s work when he showed that the Hochschild cohomology of an associative algebra has the natural structure of a G-algebra, Later, F.Cohen showed that an algebra over the homology little discs operad is nothing but a G-algebra.
Later, Deligne’s conjecture was proved: ‘the Hochschild cochain complex has the natural structure of an algebra over a chain operad of the little discs operad’, in other words, ‘it has a natural structure of homotopy G-algebra’.
Drawing resemblance to Hochschild cohomology,  we show that the disalgebra cohomology admits a G-algebra structure, which is induced by ahomotopy G-algebra structure on the cochain level.

A resolution of a module is an acyclic chain complex of projective modules, with the exception of the degree -1 term where it is the module you start with.
What I gave isn't a paraphrase of the steenrod rod axioms, it is the definition of the cohomology groups of a cochain complex (when it makes sense to talk of these things).
Remember that any chain complex is turned into a cochain complex by applying a contravariant functor.

Abstract.We apply the tools of stable homotopy theory to the study of mod- ules over the Steenrod algebra A*; in particular, we study the (triangula* *ted) category Stable(A) of unbounded cochain complexes of injective comodules over A, the dual of A*, in which the morphisms are cochain homotopy class* *es of maps.
We let Stable(A) be the category whose objects are cochain complexes of injective left A-comodules, and whose morphisms are cochain homo- topy classes of maps.

Namely, we associate to any holomorphic vector bundle E over a complex manifold M a non-abelian cochain complex whose 1-cohomology describes the set of all complex analytic supermanifolds such that the corresponding split supermanifold is (M; (Update)

The purpose of this article is to prove that the associative algebra structure on the normalized cochain complex of a simplicial set extends to the structure of an algebra over the Barratt-Eccles operad.
We also prove that differential graded algebras over the Barratt-Eccles operad form a closed model category.
More precisely, the Hochschild cochain complex is acted on by a suboperad of the Barratt-Eccles operad which is equivalent to the classical little squares operad.

/pub/Turner/opsseq Operations and Spectral Sequences I James M. Turner Department of Mathematics University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA 22903 Abstract: This is the first in a series of papers which examines a general type a chain complex (over F_2) whose homology supports a well-defined action of operations.
We call such complexes Dold algebras, which include the singular cochain complex of a space and the singular chain complex of an infinite loop space, and we give conditions on filtrations of such objects so that there is a compatible action of operations on the associated spectral sequences.
For applications, we recover W. Singer's result of the action of Steenrod operations on the Serre spectral sequence and we extend A. Bahri's action of Dyer-Lashof operations on the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence.

James E. McClure and Jeffrey H. Smith mcclure@math.purdue.edu jhs@math.purdue.edu ABSTRACT: Deligne asked in 1993 whether the Hochschild cochain complex of an associative ring has a natural action by the singular chains of the little 2-cubes operad.
In this paper we give an affirmative answer to this question.
Generalizing the rational case proved by Sullivan, Anick proved that if $X$ is a finite $r$-connected CW-complex of dimension $\leq rp$ then the algebra of singular cochains $C^{*}(X;\mathbb{F}_p)$ can be replaced by a commutative differential graded algebra $A(X)$ with the same cohomology.
