    The theory of cohomology group for recurrence relations is developed. This research is based on the asymptotic analysis of finite difference equations carried out in the author's previous paper [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 349, 4107--4142 (1997; Zbl 0883.39006)]. This investigation is motivated by several examples, where recurrence relations appear as contiguity relations of hypergeometric systems. The main result of the paper shows, roughly speaking, that a cochain complex (called harmonic complex) can be associated with each contiguity relation and an explicit formula describing this harmonic complex is presented.
