A Homology Theory is a Monster

Page 183 of Bredon's book

Bredon's Plan of Attack: State all, apply all, prove all.

Our Route: Axiom by axiom - state, apply, prove. Thus everything we will do will be, or should be, labeled either "State" or "Prove" or "Apply".

Typed Notes

The notes below are by the students and for the students. Hopefully they are useful, but they come with no guarantee of any kind.

First Hour

Recall we had defined for a chain complex the associated homology groups: $H_p(C_*) :=\ ker\partial_p/im\partial_{p+1}$

From this we get the pth homology for a topological space $H_p(X)$

We have previously shown that

1) $H_p(\cup X) = \oplus H_p(X_i)$ for disjoint unions of spaces $X_i$

2) $H_p(pt) = \mathbb{Z}\delta_{p0}$

3) $H_0(connected) = \mathbb{Z}$

4) $H_1(connected) \cong \pi_1^{ab}(X)$ via the map

$\phi:[\gamma]_{\pi_1^{ab}}\mapsto[\gamma]_{H_1}$

$\psi:\sigma\in C_1\mapsto[\gamma_{\sigma(0)}\sigma\bar{\gamma_{\sigma(1)}}]$ where $\sigma_x$ is a path connecting $x_0$ to x.

We need to check the maps are in fact inverses of each other.

Lets consider $\psi\circ\phi$ . We start with a closed path starting at $x_0$ (thought of as in the fundamental group). $\phi$ means we now think of it as a simplex in X with a point at $x_0$ . $\Psi$ now takes this to the path that parks at $x_0$ for a third of the time, goes around the loop and then parks for the remaining third of the time. Clearly this is homotopic this composition is homotopic to the identity.

We now consider $\phi\circ\psi$ . Start with just a path $\sigma$ . Then $\psi$ makes a loop adding two paths from the $x_0$ to the start and finish of $\sigma$ forming a triangular like closed loop. We think of this loop as $\sigma'\in C_1$

Now, we start from c being $c = \sum a_i\sigma_i$ with $\partial c = 0$ . So get $\sum a_i(\partial \sigma_1) = \sum a_i(\sigma_i(1)-\sigma_i(0))$

So $\Psi(c) = [\gamma_{\sigma_i(0)}\sigma_i\bar{\gamma_{\sigma_i(1)}}]_{\pi_1}$ which maps to, under $\phi$ , $\sum a_i(\gamma_{\sigma_i(0)} + \sigma_i - \gamma_{\sigma_i(1)}) = \sum a_i\sigma_i = c$ ( in the homology gamma's cancel as $\partial c = 0$ )

Axiomized Homology

We now will move to an approach where we prove that our defined homology satisfies a series of established homology axioms that will allow us to apply the machinery of general homology to our specific "singular" homology defined via simplices.

Axiom 0) Homology if a function

Definition The "category of chain complexes" is a category whose objects are chain complexes (of abelian groups) and morphisms which is a homomorphism between each abelian group in one chain and the corresponding group in the other chain such that the resulting diagram commutes. I.e, $Mor((C_p)_{p=0}^{\infty}, (D_p)^{\infty}_{p=0}) = \{(f_p:C_p\rightarrow D_p)_{p=0}^{\infty}\ |\ f_{p-1}\partial_p^C=\partial_p^D f_p\}$

Now, in our case, the chain complexes do in fact commute because $\partial$ is defined by pre-composition but f is defined by post-composition. Hence, associativity of composition yields commutativity.

Claim

Homology of chain complexes is a functor in the natural way. That is, if $f_p:C_p\rightarrow D_p$ for each p induces the functor $f_*:H_p(C_*)\rightarrow H_p(D_*)$

The proof is by "diagram chasing". Well, let $c\in C_p$ , $\partial c =0$ .

Let $f*[c] = [fc]$ . Now $\partial fc = f\partial c = 0$ . Furthermore, suppose $c = \partial b$ . Then, $f_*c = fc = \partial fb$ so therefore $fc = \partial\beta$ some $\beta$ . This shows $f_*$ is well defined.

Thus, for $c\in H_p(C_*)$ get $fc\in H_p(D_*)$ via the well defined functor $f_*$ .

Second Hour

1) Homotopy Axioms

If f,g:X\rightarrow Y are homotopic then g_* = g_*: H_p(X)\rightarrow H_p(Y)

Applications: If X and Y are homotopy equivalent then H_*(X) \cong H_*(Y)

Proof:

let f:X\rightarrow Y, g:Y\rightarrow X such that f\circ g\sim id_y and g\circ f \sim id_x. Well f_*\circ g_* = id_{H(Y)} and g_*\circ f_* = id_{H(X)}

Hence, f_* and g_* are invertible maps of each other. Q.E.D

Definition

Two morphisms f,g:C_*\rightarrow D_* between chain complexes are homotopic if you can find maps h_p:C_p\rightarrow D_{p+1} such that f_p - g_p = \partial_{p+1} h_p = h_{p-1}\partial_p

Claim 1

Given H a homotopy connecting f,g:X\rightarrow Y we can construct a chain homotopy between f_*,g_*:C_*(X)\rightarrow C_*(Y)

Claim 2

If f,g:C_*\rightarrow C_* are chain homotopic then they induce equal maps on homology.

Proof of 2

Assume [c]\in H_p(C_*), that is, \partial c =0

[f_* c] - [g_* c] = [(f_*-g_*)] =[(\partial h + h\partial)c] = 0 (as \partial c = 0 and homology ignores exact forms)

Hence, at the level of homology they are the same.

Proof of 1

Consider a simplex in X. Now consider its image, a simplex, in Y under g and f respectively. Because of the homotopy we can construct a triangular based cylinder in Y with the image under f at the top and the image under y at the bottom.

Define h\sigma = the above prism formed by \sigma and the homotopy H.

(f_*-g_*)\sigma = h\partial\sigma = \partial h\sigma

This, pictorially is correct but we need to be able to break up the prism into a union of images of simplexes.

+''Proof:''
+let f:X\rightarrow Y, g:Y\rightarrow X such that f\circ g\sim id_y and g\circ f \sim id_x.  Well f_*\circ g_* = id_{H(Y)} and g_*\circ f_* = id_{H(X)}
+Hence, f_* and g_* are invertible maps of each other. ''Q.E.D''
+'''Definition'''
-Consider a series of rectangular planes stacked on top of each other. Make a small cut in each plane, and then glue one side of the cut to the opposite side in the plane above. Finally glue the remaining unglued sides in the very top and bottom planes to each other.
+Two morphisms f,g:C_*\rightarrow D_* between chain complexes are ''homotopic'' if you can find maps h_p:C_p\rightarrow D_{p+1} such that f_p - g_p = \partial_{p+1} h_p = h_{p-1}\partial_p
-Analogously this can be done in higher dimensions.
+'''Claim 1'''
-'''Theorem'''
+Given H a homotopy connecting f,g:X\rightarrow Y we can construct a chain homotopy between f_*,g_*:C_*(X)\rightarrow C_*(Y)

-given by <math>x\mapsto p_*\pi_1(X)</math> included in <math>\pi_1(B)</math>
+'''Claim 2'''
+If f,g:C_*\rightarrow C_* are chain homotopic then they induce equal maps on homology.
-'''Example 3'''
-Consider <math>\mathbb{R}P^3</math>
-Now, <math>\pi_1(\mathbb{R}P^3) \cong\pi_1(\mathbb{R}P^3 - \{pt\})\cong \pi_1</math>(equator with identification of antipodes)<math>\cong\mathbb{Z}_2</math> as we have previously computed.
+''Proof of 2''
-There are only two subgroups of <math>\mathbb{Z}_2</math>, namely {e} and <math>\mathbb{Z}_2</math>
+Assume [c]\in H_p(C_*), that is, \partial c =0
+[f_* c] - [g_* c] = [(f_*-g_*)] =[(\partial h + h\partial)c] = 0 (as \partial c = 0 and homology ignores exact forms)
-Lets consider the case where the subgroup is <math>\mathbb{Z}_2</math>. Then <math>I:\mathbb{R}P^3\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}P^3</math> the identity covering with F merely a point. So <math>p_*\pi_1(X) = \pi(X)</math>
+Hence, at the level of homology they are the same.
-For {e}, <math>p:S^3\rightarrow\mathbb{R}P^3</math> is the other covering.
+''Proof of 1''
+Consider a simplex in X. Now consider its image, a simplex, in Y under g and f respectively. Because of the homotopy we can construct a triangular based cylinder in Y with the image under f at the top and the image under y at the bottom.
-''Aside:''
+Define h\sigma = the above prism formed by \sigma and the homotopy H.
-<math>
-\mathbb{R}P^3 = SO(3)</math>
-Consider a belt. A point on it can be associated with three vectors. One vector is tangent to the belt in the direction of one end. The other vector is normal to the belt. And the third is normal to both of these.
+(f_*-g_*)\sigma = h\partial\sigma = \partial h\sigma
-Now fix the orientation of the end points. Hence, we can think of the belt as a path in SO(3) as a homotopy. Pulling the belt tight is the identity homotopy.
+This, pictorially is correct but we need to be able to break up the prism into a union of images of simplexes.
-We note that if one twists the orientation of the end 360 degree, then this is non trivial and there is no way to return this to the identity while holding the ends fixed in orientation. However, if you twists the orientation of an end point 720 degrees then in fact you CAN "untwist" the belt without changing the orientation of the endpoints!
