Abstract

We propose the construction of a spectral sequence converging to Spencer cohomologies. By using symmetry groups of differential equations systems, we manage to unify computations by reduction to the invariant systems over a homogeneous space. The conditions of coincidence of Spencer cohomologies with the cohomologies of an invariant Spencer complex we obtain from the arithmetic of a ℂ-characteristic manifold with respect to fundamental weights of the homogeneous space.
