In mathematics, the Hodge–de Rham spectral sequence, also known as the Frölicher spectral sequence computes the cohomology of a complex manifold.

Description of the spectral sequence
The spectral sequence is as follows:
where X is a complex manifold,
together with the usual spectral sequence resulting from a filtered object, in this case the Hodge filtration
of
Degeneration
The central theorem related to this spectral sequence is that for a compact Kähler manifold X, for example a projective variety, the above spectral sequence degenerates at the
The degeneration of the spectral sequence can be shown using Hodge theory. A purely algebraic proof by means of reduction to positive characteristic was given by Deligne and Illusie. An extension of this degeneration in a relative situation, for a proper smooth map
