Edit this sidebar

Integral cohomology or “ordinary cohomology” is the ordinary version of generalized (Eilenberg-Steenrod) cohomology, the one that is represented by the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum.

Integral cohomology is best known maybe in its incarnation as singular cohomology or Čech cohomology with coefficients in the integers.

Geometric models

  • integral cohomology in degree 1 classifies complex line bundle;

  • integral cohomology in degree 2 classifies complex line bundle gerbe / line 2-bundles;

  • integral cohomology in degree n classifies line n-bundles .
