Cup-products in L q,p -cohomology: discretization and quasi-isometry invariance

Abstract

We relate $L^{q,p}$-cohomology of bounded geometry Riemannian manifolds to a purely metric space notion of $\ell^{q,p}$-cohomology, packing cohomology. This implies quasi-isometry invariance of $L^{q,p}$-cohomology together with its multiplicative structure. The result partially extends to the Rumin $L^{q,p}$-cohomology of bounded geometry contact manifolds.
