The de Rham cohomology of a Lie group modulo a dense subgroup
Abstract
Let $H$ be a dense subgroup of a Lie group $G$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. We show that the (diffeological) de Rham cohomology of $G/H$ equals the Lie algebra cohomology of $\mathfrak g/\mathfrak h$, where $\mathfrak h$ is the ideal $\{Z\in\mathfrak g:\exp(tZ)\in H \text{ for all } t\in\mathbf R\}$.

- Comments welcome, especially on whether the Appendix is original. (We will probably submit the paper without it, for fear that it seem not new enough.)
