  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 ...

    Specifically, if X is a 1-dimensional CW complex, the attaching map for a 1-cell is a map from a two-point space to X, : {,}. This map can be perturbed to be disjoint from the 0-skeleton of X if and only if f ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f(0)} and f ( 1 ) {\displaystyle f(1)} are not 0-valence vertices of X .

  4. Homology (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homology_(mathematics)

    For example, the two embedded circles in a figure-eight shape provide examples of one-dimensional cycles, or 1-cycles, and the 2-torus and 2-sphere represent 2-cycles. Cycles form a group under the operation of formal addition, which refers to adding cycles symbolically rather than combining them geometrically.

  5. Alexander duality - Wikipedia

    0, 1, 0, 0. This does work out, predicting the complement's reduced Betti numbers. The prototype here is the Jordan curve theorem, which topologically concerns the complement of a circle in the Riemann sphere. It also tells the same story. We have the honest Betti numbers 1, 1, 0. of the circle, and therefore 0, 1, 1. by flipping over and 1, 1, 0

  6. Algebraic topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_topology

    The free rank of the nth homology group of a simplicial complex is the nth Betti number, which allows one to calculate the Euler–Poincaré characteristic. One can use the differential structure of smooth manifolds via de Rham cohomology , or Čech or sheaf cohomology to investigate the solvability of differential equations defined on the ...

  7. Hopf invariant - Wikipedia

    It is a theorem, proved first by Frank Adams, and subsequently by Adams and Michael Atiyah with methods of topological K-theory, that these are the only maps with Hopf invariant 1. Whitehead integral formula

  8. Motivic cohomology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivic_cohomology

    Each scheme X over k determines two objects in DM called the motive of X, M(X), and the compactly supported motive of X, M c (X); the two are isomorphic if X is proper over k. One basic point of the derived category of motives is that the four types of motivic homology and motivic cohomology all arise as sets of morphisms in this category.

  9. Rational homotopy theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_homotopy_theory

    A continuous map: of simply connected topological spaces is called a rational homotopy equivalence if it induces an isomorphism on homotopy groups tensored with the rational numbers . [1] Equivalently: f is a rational homotopy equivalence if and only if it induces an isomorphism on singular homology groups with rational coefficients. [ 3 ]
