Abstract: A new notion of cohomology is introduced for MT-spaces, which are measurable and topological spaces whose measurable structure may not agree with the Borel sigma-algebra of their topology. The main examples of MTspaces are measurable foliations. This is a singular version of the measurable simplicial cohomology defined by Heitsch and Lazarov for foliations and extended by Bermudez for MT-spaces. Basic topics of algebraic topology are adapted, and applications to the theory of foliations are given. Moreover we introduce a new notion of singular L2-cohomology for MT-spaces.


The paper defines and studies several versions of cohomology for ``measurable foliations, which in its most general form means: for a topological space with a measurable structure (not necessary Borel) which is locally the product of a standard Borel space and a locally compact Polish space, where we then use however the discrete topology on the standard Borel space. For certain constructions, in addition a measurable triangulation (leafwise) is required. The main example of such spaces are measurable foliations. The author defines a notion of measurable singular cohomology and of measurable simplicial cohomology and measurable \(L^2\)-cohomology and proves its basic properties (like lamination homotopy invariance, Mayer-Vietoris, isomorphism of singular and simplicial version).
