SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
A new approach to differential homological algebra is developed, one which exploits more general types of resolutions than the bicomplexes used traditionally. An example of such a generalized resolution is exhibited and is used to prove that the differential torsion product reduces to the classical torsion product in favorable cases. This result is used to compute the cohomology of various spaces. The paper also includes proofs (within the new framework) of the results of Eilenberg and Moore which relate differential torsion products to the homology and cohomology of spaces, and a discussion of the relationship between differential torsion products and matric Massey products.
