"The Homological Algebra of PDEs"

We will give several examples to illustrate the deep relationship between the topology of a manifold and the properties of PDEs on that manifold. In the end, I hope to convince you that there are standard techniques from homological algebra which can help make this relationship explicit. In particular, I would like to discuss applications of these techniques to the problem I have been studying for the past year: the integrability problem for G-structures.
