  PlanetMath: Lie algebra cohomology
Generalizing a bit, Lie algebra cohomology is just the cohomology of a particular kind of algebraic theory.
The aim was to calculate the cohomology, in the topological sense, of a compact Lie group by using the finite-dimensional data of the corresponding Lie algebra.
This is version 9 of Lie algebra cohomology, born on 2003-08-14, modified 2006-02-03.

 PlanetMath: de Rham cohomology
This action on differentiable maps makes the de Rham cohomology into a contravariant functor from the category of paracompact
It turns out to be homotopy invariant; this implies that homotopy equivalent manifolds have isomorphic de Rham cohomology.
This is version 5 of de Rham cohomology, born on 2004-06-12, modified 2004-10-12.

De Rham cohomology is the cohomology of differential forms.
De Rham cohomology and the theory of characteristic classes are not only two of the most important topics in mathematics, but also in theoretical physics.
The foremost strategy for the calculation of the De Rham cohomology, the Mayer-Vietoris sequence is given, the treatment emphasizing the role of the Poincare lemma.

 Cornell Math - Thesis Abstracts (Lie Groups)
Abstract: This work concerns the computation of various L_2 cohomology theories, where L_2 cohomology is an analogue of de Rham cohomology on complete Riemannian manifolds which demands the forms under consideration be square integrable.
Finally, the manifolds under study are sufficiently close to arithmetic quotients of rank one symmetric spaces that the cohomology of the links of the cusp points at infinity admits a weight space decomposition, allowing the definition of an analogue of the weighted cohomology of [GHM94] on them.
Warped cohomology allows results on such spaces which are similar to the weighted L_2 construction of weighted cohomology (theorem A) derived on arithmetic quotients of symmetric spaces (of any rank) in [Nai99].

 Hopf-cyclic homology
Along the lines of Connes and Moscovici, we show that there is a pairing between the cyclic cohomology of a module coalgebra acting on a module algebra and closed 0-cocycles on the latter.
It shows that passage from the cyclic homology of algebras to the cyclic cohomology of Hopf algebras is remarkably similar to passage from de Rham cohomology to the cohomology of Lie algebras via invariant de Rham cohomology [2].
It turns out that the cyclic cohomology of Hopf algebras is a special case of the former, whereas both twisted [9] and usual cyclic cohomology are special cases of the latter.

 Questions I'm thinking about
Rigid cohomology is a cohomology theory for algebraic varieties over fields of positive characteristic that plays a role similar to that of algebraic de Rham cohomology for varieties over fields of characteristic zero.
Rigid cohomology is a "Weil cohomology", in that it has the formal properties needed to imply the Weil Conjectures.
Fortunately, they are separated and of finite type over a field.) Since rigid cohomology is based on de Rham cohomology in characteristic zero, understanding de Rham cohomology of suitable stacks in characteristic zero is an important prerequisite, and may be a significant task in itself.

More specifically, he represented the cohomology of a compact Riemann surface with the help of holomorphic differential forms of degree one, that is, in terms of a local coordinate $z$, forms of the type $f(z)\,dz$ where $f$ is holomorphic.
De Rham showed that for any differentiable manifold cohomology can be defined with the help of smooth differential forms.
Characteristic classes are usually defined with the aid of differential form using de Rhams theorem.

 Absolute Hodge cycles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In joint work with H. Esnault we explore the relation between this notion and the notion of absolute de Rham cycle which we have introduced.
The latter is an infinitesimal analogue of the notion of absolute Hodge cycles and should prove easier to study in relation with the Hodge conjecture.
In particular, we were able to construct the Leray spectral sequence for de Rham cohomology, prove the comparison theorem with singular cohomology and also demonstrate the coniveau spectral sequence used (without proof) in the paper ([

 Leibniz Cohomology for Differentiable Manifolds, by Jerry Lodder
Leibniz Cohomology for Differentiable Manifolds, by Jerry Lodder
The goal of this paper is to extend Loday's Leibniz cohomology from a Lie algebra invariant to an invariant for differentiable manifolds so that Leibniz cohomology is a non-commutative version of de Rham cohomology.
Leibniz cohomology, HL^*, is no longer a homotopy invariant---in fact the first obstruction to the homotopy invariance of HL^*(R^n) is the universal Godbillon-Vey invariant in dimension 2n+1.
