    Let \((X,\phi)\) be a continuous \(\mathbb R^n\)-action on the compact space \(X\). Various cohomology groups for such actions are studied, in particular the Čech cohomology \(H(X, Z)\) of \(X\) and the Lie algebra cohomology \(H(\mathbb R^n, C^\infty(X, \mathbb R))\) of \(\mathbb R^n\) with coefficients in the \(\phi\)-smooth real functions of \(X\). The Ruelle-Sullivan currents associated with sub-actions (a graded homomorphism between the integer Čech cohomology of the space and the exterior algebra of the dual of \(\mathbb R\)) is exploited to capture topological information about the dynamical system when given an invariant measure. In certain cases (for actions arising from Delone sets of finite local complexity), it is shown that the Ruelle-Sullivan map is a ring homomorphism when the measure is ergodic.
