Cohomology operations from higher products in the de Rham complex

Bohumil Cenkl

Vol. 140 (1989), No. 1, 21–33
Abstract

We give a new construction of all Steenrood cyclic reduced powers 𝒫i and of Pontrjagin-Thomas p-th powers p for each prime p. The cohomology operations are indued by operations, analogous to the p-fold cup-i products, defined in the deRham complex of Cartan-Miller. These operations form a basis of all the cohomology operations derived from cyclic groups. This extends the construction of the Steenrod squares based on the analogue of the cup-i product in the deRham complex. From the construction of these new operations in the deRham complex it follows that the commutative cochain problem does not have a solution over the integers.
