Comparing cohomology obstructions

Abstract

We show that three different kinds of cohomologies - Baues-Wirsching cohomology, the (S*,O)-cohomology of Dwyer and Kan, and the André-Quillen cohomology of a. Π-algebra - are isomorphic, under certain assumptions. This is then used to identify the cohomological obstructions in three general approaches to realizability problems: the track category version of Baues and Wirsching, the diagram rectifications of Dwyer, Kan, and Smith, and the Π-algebra realization of Dwyer, Kan, and Stover. Our main tool in this identification is the notion of a mapping algebra: a simplicially enriched version of an algebra over a theory.
