Popis: For an inclusion B ⊆ A of operator algebras we introduce the B -nil cohomology groupsHn( A ∣ B ), which can be easier to compute than the standard cohomology groupsHn( A ). We then develop two long exact sequences, the first linkingHn( A ∣ B ),Hn( A ) andHn( B ), the second corresponding to the Mayer–Vietoris sequence of algebraic topology. These sequences provide powerful computational tools, as illustrated by the examples in the last two sections of the paper.
