Abstract

The Leray–Serre and the Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequences are fundamental tools for computing the cohomology of a group or, more generally, of a space. We describe the relationship between these two spectral sequences when both of them share the same abutment. There exists a joint tri-graded refinement of the Leray–Serre and the Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence. This refinement involves two more spectral sequences, the preludes from the title, which abut to the initial terms of the Leray–Serre and the Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence, respectively. We show that one of these always degenerates from its second page on and that the other one satisfies a local-to-global property: it degenerates for all possible base spaces if and only if it does so when the base space is contractible.
