Abstract
We calculate cohomologies of the Schwartz algebras D and S, which are basic spaces (test-function spaces) of the distribution theory. In the process, we find special cohomologies of the quotient algebras E/D and M/S (E andMare also test-function spaces), which are quite unusual from the standpoint of the standard functional analysis and are interesting for theoretical and mathematical physics.
