For any two differential modules M and N over a graded differential k-algebra Λ (k a commutative ring), there Is a spectral sequence Er, called the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence, having the following properties: Er converges to Tor Λ (M,N) and E2=TorH(Λ) (H(M),H(N)). This algebraic set-up gives rise to a "geometric" spectral sequence in algebraic topology. Starting with a commutative diagram of topological spaces [diagram omitted] where B Is simply connected, one gets a spectral sequence Er converging to the cohomology H*(X xBY) of the space X xBY, and for which E₂=TorH*(B) (H*(X),H*(Y)). In this thesis we outline a generalization of the above geometric spectral sequence obtained, by first extending the category of topological spaces and then, extending the cohomology theory H* to this larger category. The convergence of the extended spectral sequence does not depend, on any topological conditions of the spaces involved. It follows algebraically from the way the exact couple (from which the spectral sequence Is derived) Is set up and from the Suspension Axiom of the extended cohomology theory. / Science, Faculty of / Mathematics, Department of / Graduate

As sequências espectrais foram criadas por Jean Leray num campo de concentração durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial motivado por problemas inerentes à Topologia Algébrica. Num primeiro momento, surge como uma ferramenta para auxiliar no cálculo da cohomologia de um feixe. Porém, Jean-Louis Koszul apresenta uma formulação puramente algébrica para tais sequencias, que consiste basicamente no cálculo da homologia de um complexo total associado a um complexo duplo. Concentraremos nosso trabalho nas definições e resultados que nos permitem demonstrar os seguintes resultados conhecidos da Álgebra usando sequências espectrais: o Lema dos Cinco, o Lema da Serpente, Balanceamento para o Funtor Tor, Mudança de Base para o Funtor Tor e o Teorema dos Coeficientes Universais. Apresentamos, ao final do trabalho, uma generalização que nos permite entender melhor os funtores derivados à esquerda: as Sequências Espectrais de Grothendieck. / Spectral sequences were created by Jean Leray in a concentration camp during World War II motivated by problems of Algebraic Topology. At first, it appears as a tool to assist in calculating the cohomology of a sheaf. However, Jean-Louis Koszul presents a purely algebraic formulation for these sequences, which basically consists in calculating a total of homology complex associated with a double complex. We will focus our work on the definitions and results that allow us to demonstrate known results of algebra using spectral sequences: The Five Lemma, The Snake Lemma, Balancing of functor Tor, Base Change for Tor and Universal Coefficient Theorem. We present, at the end of this work, a generalization that allows us to better understand the left derivative functors: the Spectral Sequence of Grothendieck.
