Towards a sheaf cohomology theory for C*-algebras
-
Martin Mathieu
Abstract
In jointwork with Pere Ara (Barcelona)we are in the process of developing a full sheaf cohomology theory for noncommutative C*-algebras. In this survey, we discuss the difficulties arising from the fact that the appropriate categories of operatormodule sheaves over sheaves of C*-algebras are non-abelian and therefore the homology theory needed has to be set in the more general framework of exact categories.
