Singular cohomology is a powerful invariant in topology, associating a graded-commutative ring with any topological space. Every continuous map: determines a homomorphism from the cohomology ring of to that of ; this puts strong restrictions on the possible maps from to .

In mathematics, Lehrbuch der Topologie (German for "textbook of topology") is a book by Herbert Seifert and William Threlfall, first published in 1934 and published in an English translation in 1980. It was one of the earliest textbooks on algebraic topology, and was the standard reference on this topic for many years. Albert W. Tucker wrote a ...
In algebraic topology the cap product is a method of adjoining a chain of degree p with a cochain of degree q, such that q ≤ p, to form a composite chain of degree p − q. It was introduced by Eduard Čech in 1936, and independently by Hassler Whitney in 1938.
A CW complex is a space that has a filtration whose union is and such that . is a discrete space, called the set of 0-cells (vertices) in .; Each is obtained by attaching several n-disks, n-cells, to via maps ; i.e., the boundary of an n-disk is identified with the image of in .
Differential graded algebra: the algebraic structure arising on the cochain level for the cup product; Poincaré duality: swaps some of these; Intersection theory: for a similar theory in algebraic geometry
In the simplest possible case the relationship is that of a tensor product, but for applications it is very often necessary to apply certain tools of homological algebra to express the answer. A Künneth theorem or Künneth formula is true in many different homology and cohomology theories, and the name has become generic.
A more formal statement takes into account that G may be a topological group (not simply a discrete group), and that group actions of G are taken to be continuous; in the absence of continuous actions the classifying space concept can be dealt with, in homotopy terms, via the Eilenberg–MacLane space construction.
