We study differential complexes of Kolmogorov-Alexander-Spanier type on metric measure spaces associated with unbounded non-local operators, such as operators of fractional Laplacian type. We define Hilbert complexes, observe invariance properties and obtain self-adjoint non-local analogues of Hodge Laplacians. For d-regular measures and operators of fractional Laplacian type we provide results on removable sets in terms of Hausdorff measures. We prove a Mayer-Vietoris principle and a Poincaré lemma and verify that in the compact Riemannian manifold case the deRham cohomology can be recovered. Contents1. Introduction 1 2.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
