We describe certain spaces of $\\Gamma$-invariant currents on the sphere at infinity of $H^n$ with support on the limit set of $\\Gamma$. These spaces are finite-dimensional. The main result identifies the cohomology of $Y$ with a quotient of such spaces. We explain in which sense this result generalizes the classical Hodge theorem for compact quotients. We obtain analogous results for the cohomology groups $H^p(\\Gamma,F)$, where $F$ is a finite-dimensional representation of the full group of orientation preserving isometries of $H^n$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-09-04T16:54:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E40" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic manifolds", "infinite volume", "hodge theory", "discrete convex-cocompact group", "main result identifies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math......9038O" } } }
