  2. Whitehead theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehead_theorem

    For instance, take X= S 2 × RP 3 and Y= RP 2 × S 3. Then X and Y have the same fundamental group, namely the cyclic group Z/2, and the same universal cover, namely S 2 × S 3; thus, they have isomorphic homotopy groups. On the other hand their homology groups are different (as can be seen from the Künneth formula); thus, X and Y are not ...

  3. CW complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CW_complex

    It was initially introduced by J. H. C. Whitehead to meet the needs of homotopy theory. [2] CW complexes have better categorical properties than simplicial complexes, but still retain a combinatorial nature that allows for computation (often with a much smaller complex). The C in CW stands for "closure-finite", and the W for "weak" topology. [2]

  4. Homotopy groups of spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_groups_of_spheres

    In this table, the entries are either a) the trivial group 0, the infinite cyclic group Z, b) the finite cyclic groups of order n (written as Z n), or c) the direct products of such groups (written, for example, as Z 24 ×Z 3 or Z 2 2 = Z 2 ×Z 2). Extended tables of homotopy groups of spheres are given at the end of the article.

  5. Whitehead torsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehead_torsion

    Two pairs (X 1, A) and (X 2, A) are said to be equivalent, if there is a simple homotopy equivalence between X 1 and X 2 relative to A. The set of such equivalence classes form a group where the addition is given by taking union of X 1 and X 2 with common subspace A. This group is natural isomorphic to the Whitehead group Wh(A) of the CW-complex A.

  6. Serre spectral sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serre_spectral_sequence

    Let : be a Serre fibration of topological spaces, and let F be the (path-connected) fiber.The Serre cohomology spectral sequence is the following: , = (, ()) + (). Here, at least under standard simplifying conditions, the coefficient group in the -term is the q-th integral cohomology group of F, and the outer group is the singular cohomology of B with coefficients in that group.

    "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" is an English language nursery rhyme and a popular children's song, of American origin, often sung in a round. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19236. Lyrics

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopf_invariant

    Theorem: The map : is a homomorphism. If is odd, is trivial (since () is torsion). If is even, the image of contains .Moreover, the image of the Whitehead product of identity maps equals 2, i. e. ([,]) =, where : is the identity map and [,] is the Whitehead product.

  9. Künneth theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Künneth_theorem

    In general one uses singular homology; but if X and Y happen to be CW complexes, then this can be replaced by cellular homology, because that is isomorphic to singular homology. The simplest case is when the coefficient ring for homology is a field F. In this situation, the Künneth theorem (for singular homology) states that for any integer k,
