A multicomplex, also known as a twisted chain complex, has an associated spectral sequence via a filtration of its total complex. We give explicit formulas for all the differentials in this spectral sequence.
Operadic tangent cohomology generalizes the existing theories of Harrison cohomology, Chevalley--Eilenberg cohomology and Hochschild cohomology. These are usually non-trivial to compute. We complement the existing computational techniques by producing a spectral sequence that converges to the operadic tangent cohomology of a fixed algebra. Our main technical tool is that of filtrations arising from towers of cofibrations of algebras, which play the same role cell attaching maps and skeletal filtrations do for topological spaces. As an application, we consider the rational Adams--Hilton construction on topological spaces, where our spectral sequence gives rise to a seemingly new and completely algebraic description of the Serre spectral sequence, which we also show is multiplicative and converges to the Chas--Sullivan loop product. Finally, we consider relative Sullivan--de Rham models of a fibration $p$, where our spectral sequence converges to the rational homotopy groups of the identity component of the space of self-fiber homotopy equivalences of $p$.
We prove that the Morava-$K$-theory-based Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence has good convergence properties whenever the base space is a $p$-local finite Postnikov system with vanishing $(n+1)$st homotopy group.
We construct a $C_2$-equivariant spectral sequence for RO$(C_2)$-graded homotopy groups. The construction is by using the motivic effective slice filtration and the $C_2$-equivariant Betti realization. We apply the spectral sequence to compute the RO$(C_2)$-graded homotopy groups of the completed $C_2$-equivariant connective real $K$-theory spectrum. The computation reproves the $C_2$-equivariant Adams spectral sequence results by Guillou, Hill, Isaksen and Ravenel.
Callias-type (or Dirac-Schrodinger) operators associated to abstract semifinite spectral triples are introduced and their indices are computed in terms of an associated index pairing derived from the spectral triple. The result is then interpreted as an index theorem for a non-commutative analogue of spectral flow. Both even and odd spectral triples are considered, and both commutative and non-commutative examples are given.
We make a conjecture about all the relations in the $E_2$ page of the May spectral sequence and prove it in a subalgebra which covers a large range of dimensions. We conjecture that the $E_2$ page is nilpotent free and also prove it in this subalgebra. For further computations we construct maps of spectral sequences which systematically extend one of the techniques used by May and Tangora.
