81Chain complex — Bicomplex redirects here. For the number, see Bicomplex number In mathematics, chain complex and cochain complex are constructs originally used in the field of algebraic topology. They are algebraic means of representing the relationships between …
82Group cohomology — This article is about homology and cohomology of a group. For homology or cohomology groups of a space or other object, see Homology (mathematics). In abstract algebra, homological algebra, algebraic topology and algebraic number theory, as well… …
83Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms — In mathematics, specifically in algebraic topology, the Eilenberg Steenrod axioms are properties that homology theories of topological spaces have in common. The quintessential example of a homology theory satisfying the axioms is singular… …
84Künneth theorem — In mathematics, especially in homological algebra and algebraic topology, a Künneth theorem is a statement relating the homology of two objects to the homology of their product. The classical statement of the Künneth theorem relates the singular… …
85Poincaré duality — In mathematics, the Poincaré duality theorem, named after Henri Poincaré, is a basic result on the structure of the homology and cohomology groups of manifolds. It states that if M is an n dimensional compact oriented manifold, then the k th… …
86Casson invariant — In 3 dimensional topology, a part of the mathematical field of geometric topology, the Casson invariant is an integer valued invariant of oriented integral homology 3 spheres, introduced by Andrew Casson.Kevin Walker (1992) found an extension to… …
87Cobordism — A cobordism (W;M,N). In mathematics, cobordism is a fundamental equivalence relation on the class of compact manifolds of the same dimension, set up using the concept of the boundary of a manifold. Two manifolds are cobordant if their disjoint… …
88Algebraic topology — is a branch of mathematics which uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism. In many situations this is too much to hope for… …
89CW complex — In topology, a CW complex is a type of topological space introduced by J. H. C. Whitehead to meet the needs of homotopy theory. This class of spaces is broader and has some better categorical properties than simplicial complexes, but still… …
90Continuation map — In differential topology, given a family of Morse Smale functions on a smooth manifold X parameterized by a closed interval I, one can construct a Morse Smale vector field on X × I whose critical points occur only on the boundary. The Morse… …
