Bigraded cohomology for real algebraic varieties and its arithmetic variant

Abstract: I will first introduce the bigraded cohomology for real algebraic varieties developed by Johannes Huisman and Dewi Gleuher. This is a cohomology theory that refines the equivariant cohomology "à la Kahn-Krasnov" of the complex points of a real variety, the latter often being preferred (by the algebraic geometers) in the cohomological study of real algebraic varieties. Since the construction of this bigraded cohomology and its associated characteristic classes relies on the sheaf exponential morphism, I will explain how to produce an arithmetic (or algebraic) variant of these cohomology groups, whose main advantage is toeliminate topological or transcendental conditions. I will conclude by comparing these two versions of bigraded cohomology.
