Abstract: 
In mathematical physics, gauge theories are variational PDEs that have gauge symmetries (symmetries locally parametrized by arbitrary functions). Generators of gauge symmetries naturally fit into certain complexes of differential operators. I will discuss the structure of these complexes and the possible roles played by their cohomology.
