Theorem 4.2.30. Let \( \\left( {X, A}\\right) \) be a CW-pair and let \( U \\subseteq A \) be such that \( \\left( {Y, B}\\right) = \) \( \\left( {X - U, A - U}\\right) \) is a CW-pair. Then the inclusion \( \\left( {Y, B}\\right) \\rightarrow \\left( {X, A}\\right) \) is excisive for cellular homology.
Proof. First observe that the hypothesis on \( U \) implies that \( U \) is a union of open cells of \( A \) . Let \( {F}_{n} \) be the free abelian group on the \( n \) -cells of \( X \) that are not contained in \( A \), which are exactly the \( n \) -cells of \( Y \) that are not contained in \( B \) . Then we have ...
Yes
Theorem 4.2.33. Let \( X \) be a CW-complex with only finitely many cells in each dimension. Then for each \( n,{H}_{n}^{\text{cell }}\left( X\right) \) and \( {H}_{\text{cell }}^{n}\left( X\right) \) are finitely generated abelian groups.
Proof. \( {H}_{n}^{\text{cell }}\left( X\right) \) is a quotient of \( {Z}_{n}^{\text{cell }}\left( X\right) \), which is a subgroup of a finitely generated free abelian group, and hence itself is a finitely generated free abelian group, and similarly for \( {H}_{\text{cell }}^{n}\left( X\right) \) .

Theorem 4.3.2. Let \( d = {\dim }_{\mathbb{R}}\mathbb{F} \) (so that \( d = 1 \) if \( \mathbb{F} = \mathbb{R} \) and \( d = 2 \) if \( \mathbb{F} = \mathbb{C} \) ). Then \( \mathbb{F}{P}^{n} \) has a CW-structure with one cell in dimension di for each \( i = 0,\ldots, n \) .
Proof. By induction on \( n \). For \( n = 0,\mathbb{F}{P}^{0} \) is just a point. Assume now the theorem is true for \( n - 1 \). We shall show that \( \mathbb{F}{P}^{n} - \mathbb{F}{P}^{n - 1} \) is a single cell of dimension \( {dn} \), which, by induction, completes the proof. Now \( \mathbb{F}{P}^{n} - \mathbb{F}{...

Theorem 4.3.3. The homology of \( \mathbb{C}{P}^{n} \) is as follows:\n\n\[ \n{H}_{i}\left( {\mathbb{C}{P}^{n}}\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0 & i > {2n} \\ \mathbb{Z} & 0 \leq i \leq {2n}\text{ even } \\ 0 & 0 < i < {2n}\text{ odd. } \end{array}\right.\n\]
Proof. The cellular chain complex of \( \mathbb{C}{P}^{n} \) is\n\n\[ \n0 \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow 0 \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow \cdots \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow 0 \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow 0 \n\]\n\nwith \( \mathbb{Z} \) in every even dimension between 0 and \( {2n} \), and 0 otherwi...

Proof. For \( n \leq 1 \) this is clear.\n\nFor \( n \geq 2,\partial \left( {\partial {I}^{n}}\right) \) is an element in the free abelian group generated by the \( \left( {n - 2}\right) \) - faces of \( {I}^{n} \), i.e., by the subsets, for each \( i \neq j \) and each \( {\varepsilon }_{i} = 0 \) or \( 1,{\varepsilon...

Lemma 5.1.12. Let \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) be a map. Then finduces a chain map \( \left\{ {{f}_{n} : {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow }\right. \) \( \left. {{C}_{n}\left( Y\right) }\right\} \) where \( {f}_{n} : {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( Y\right) \) as follows. Let \( \Phi : {I}^{n} \rightarro...
Proof. This would be immediate if we were dealing with \( {Q}_{n}\left( X\right) \) and \( {Q}_{n}\left( Y\right) \) . But since \( {f\Phi } \) is degenerate wherever \( \Phi \) is, it is just about immediate for \( {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \) and \( {C}_{n}\left( Y\right) \) . Then the fact that we have maps on homology...

Theorem 5.1.16. Singular homology satisfies Axiom 4.
Proof. We have defined \( {C}_{n}\left( {X, A}\right) = {C}_{n}\left( X\right) /{C}_{n}\left( A\right) \) . Thus for every \( n \), we have a short exact sequence\n\n\[ 0 \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( A\right) \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( {X, A}\right) \rightarrow 0.\]\n\nIn other words, we ...

Theorem 5.1.17. Singular homology satisfies Axiom 5.
Proof. For simplicity we consider the case of homotopic maps of spaces \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) and \( g : X \rightarrow Y \) (rather than maps of pairs). Then by definition, setting \( {f}_{0} = f \) and \( {f}_{1} = g \), there is a map \( F : X \times I \rightarrow Y \) with \( F\left( {x,0}\right) = {f}_{0}\left( ...
Yes
Theorem 5.1.19. Let \( X \) be the space consisting of a single point. Then \( {H}_{0}\left( X\right) \cong \mathbb{Z} \) and \( {H}_{i}\left( X\right) = 0 \) for \( i \neq 0 \) . Thus singular homology satisfies the dimension axiom, Axiom 7, and has coefficient group \( \mathbb{Z} \) .
Proof. Let \( \Phi : {I}^{0} \rightarrow X \) be the unique map. Then \( {C}_{0}\left( X\right) \) is the free abelian group generated by \( \Phi \) . On the other hand, for any \( i > 0,\Phi : {I}^{i} \rightarrow X \) is a degenerate \( i \) -cube. Hence \( {C}_{i}\left( X\right) = \{ 0\} \) for \( i > 0 \) . Thus \( ...
Yes
Theorem 5.1.24. For any singular chain \( c \) , \( \operatorname{supp}\left( c\right) \) is a compact subset of \( X \) .
Proof. For any \( \Phi : {I}^{n} \rightarrow X,\Phi \left( {I}^{n}\right) \) is a compact subset of \( X \) as it is the continuous image of a compact set. Then for any singular chain \( c \), supp \( \left( c\right) \) is a finite union of compact sets and hence is compact.
Yes
Corollary 5.1.25. Let \( X \) be a union of components, \( X = \mathop{\bigcup }\limits_{{i \in I}}{X}_{i} \) . Then for any \( n \) , \( {H}_{n}\left( X\right) = {\bigoplus }_{i \in I}{H}_{n}\left( {X}_{i}\right) \)
Proof. This follows for any generalized homology theory from Lemma 3.2.1 if there are only finitely many components. But for singular homology theory, if \( c \in {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \) is any chain, then \( \operatorname{supp}\left( c\right) \) is compact, by Theorem 5.1.24, so is contained in \( \mathop{\bigcup }\...

Lemma 5.1.26. (1) For any space \( X \), the group of singular \( n \) -chains \( {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \) is isomorphic to the free abelian group with basis the non-degenerate n-cubes.
Proof. This follows easily once we recall that \( {C}_{n}\left( X\right) = {Q}_{n}\left( X\right) /{D}_{n}\left( X\right) \) where \( {Q}_{n}\left( X\right) \) is the free abelian group on all \( n \) -cubes and \( {D}_{n}\left( X\right) \) is the free abelian group on the degenerate \( n \) -cubes
Yes
Theorem 5.2.1. Let \( X \) be a space. Then \( {H}_{0}\left( X\right) \) is isomorphic to the free abelian group on the path components of \( X \) .
Proof. We assume \( X \) nonempty. We have already seen in Corollary 5.1.25 that if \( X = {X}_{1} \cup {X}_{2} \cup \cdots \) is a union of path components, then \( {H}_{i}\left( X\right) = {\bigoplus }_{k}{H}_{i}\left( {X}_{k}\right) \) . Thus it satisfies to prove the theorem in case \( X \) is path connected, so we...

Lemma 5.2.2. Let \( f : I \rightarrow X \) and \( g : I \rightarrow X \) with \( f\left( 1\right) = g\left( 0\right) \) . Define \( h : I \rightarrow X \) by \( h\left( t\right) = f\left( {2t}\right) \) for \( 0 \leq t \leq \frac{1}{2} \), and \( h\left( t\right) = g\left( {{2t} - 1}\right) \) for \( \frac{1}{2} \leq t...
Proof. We exhibit a 2-cell \( C \) with \( \partial C = f + g - h.C : I \rightarrow I \rightarrow X \) is given by following \( f \) and then \( g \) along each of the heavy solid lines as indicated:\n\n![21ef530b-1e09-406a-b041-cf4539af5c14_72_0.jpg](images/21ef530b-1e09-406a-b041-cf4539af5c14_72_0.jpg)\n\nThen \( \pa...

Theorem 5.2.7. Let \( d \) be any integer. Then for any integer \( n \geq 1 \), there exists a map \( f : {S}^{n} \rightarrow {S}^{n} \) of degree \( d \) .
Proof. Again the key step is the \( n = 1 \) case, and we provide an alternate proof of that (with the remainder of the proof being the same as in the previous proof).\n\nAgain we claim that \( f : {S}^{1} \rightarrow {S}^{1} \) by \( f\left( z\right) = {z}^{d} \) has degree \( d \) .\n\nTo prove that, we consider the ...

Lemma 5.3.2. \( {C}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \) is isomorphic to \( {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \otimes G \) (and similarly for \( A \) ). Also, \( {C}_{n}\left( {X, A;G}\right) \) is isomorphic to \( {C}_{n}\left( {X, A}\right) \otimes G \) .
Proof. Clear from Definition 5.3.1 and the fact that for any two abelian groups \( A \) and \( B,\left( {A \oplus B}\right) \otimes G \approx \left( {A \otimes G}\right) \oplus \left( {B \otimes G}\right) \), and hence, in this situation, \( \left( {A \otimes G}\right) \approx \) \( \left( {\left( {A \oplus B}\right) \...

Lemma 5.3.3. With the above identifications, \( {C}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \) is a chain complex with boundary map \( \partial \otimes 1 : {C}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \rightarrow {C}_{n - 1}\left( {X;G}\right) \), and similarly for \( {C}_{n}\left( {A;G}\right) \) and \( {C}_{n}\left( {X, A;G}\right) \) .
Proof. The only thing to check is that \( {\left( \partial \otimes 1\right) }^{2} = 0 \) . But \( {\left( \partial \otimes 1\right) }^{2} = {\partial }^{2} \otimes 1 = 0 \) .

Proof. We have the short exact sequence\n\n\[ 0 \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( A\right) \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( {X, A}\right) \rightarrow 0. \]\n\nTensoring such a sequence with \( G \) does not in general produce an exact sequence. But if this sequence is split short exact, tensoring wi...

Lemma 5.3.5. With the identification in Lemma 5.3.2, \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) induces \( {f}_{ * } \otimes 1 \) : \( {C}_{ * }\left( {X;G}\right) \rightarrow {C}_{ * }\left( {Y;G}\right) \), and similarly for \( f : \left( {X, A}\right) \rightarrow \left( {Y, B}\right) \) .
In concrete terms, if \( \left\{ {{\Phi }_{i} : {I}^{n} \rightarrow X}\right\} \) are singular \( n \) -cubes, \( \left( {{f}_{ * } \otimes 1}\right) \left( {\mathop{\sum }\limits_{i}{g}_{i}{\Phi }_{i}}\right) = \) \( \sum {g}_{i}\left( {f{\Phi }_{i}}\right) \) .

Theorem 5.3.7. Singular homology with coefficients in \( G \) is an ordinary homology theory with coefficient group \( G \) .

Lemma 5.3.8. The map \( \tau : {C}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {C}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \) given by \( \tau \left( \Phi \right) = \Phi \otimes 1 \) where \( \Phi \) is a singular \( n \) -cube induces a map\n\n\[ \tau : {H}_{n}\left( X\right) \otimes G \rightarrow {H}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \]
Proof. Lemma 5.3.3 implies that \( \tau : {Z}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {Z}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \) and \( \tau : {B}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {B}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \) , where, as usual, \( {Z}_{n}\left( X\right) = \operatorname{Ker}\left( {\partial }_{n}\right) \) and \( {B}_{n}\left( X\right) = \ope...

Example 5.3.12. By Lemma A.3.8, \( \operatorname{Tor}\left( {{\mathbb{Z}}_{2},{\mathbb{Z}}_{m}}\right) \approx {Z}_{2} \) for \( m \) even. Thus, from Theorem 4.3.4, for real projective spaces we have, for \( m \) even,
\[ {H}_{i}\left( {\mathbb{R}{P}^{n};{\mathbb{Z}}_{m}}\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0 & i > n \\ {\mathbb{Z}}_{m} & i = n\text{ odd } \\ {\mathbb{Z}}_{2} & i = n\text{ even } \\ {\mathbb{Z}}_{2} & 1 \leq i \leq n - 1 \\ {\mathbb{Z}}_{m} & i = 0. \end{array}\right. \]

Corollary 5.3.13. Let \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) and suppose that \( {f}_{ * } : {H}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {H}_{n}\left( Y\right) \) is an isomorphism for all \( n \) . Then \( {f}_{ * } : {H}_{n}\left( {X;G}\right) \rightarrow {H}_{n}\left( {Y;G}\right) \) is an isomorphism for all \( n \) .
Proof. This follows directly from the universal coefficient theorem and the short five lemma.

Proof. This is a purely algebraic result, whose proof we omit, but we again remark that it crucially uses the fact that \( {C}_{ * }\left( X\right) \) and \( {C}_{ * }\left( Y\right) \) are chain complexes of free abelian groups.
No
Lemma 5.4.8. Let \( Y \) be a path connected space and let \( \pi : X \times Y \rightarrow X \) be projection on the first factor. For any element \( \alpha \) of \( {H}_{n}\left( X\right) \) , \[ {\pi }_{ * }\left( {\alpha \otimes {1}_{Y}}\right) = \alpha \]

Lemma 5.5.3. The map \( {f}^{ * } : {C}^{ * }\left( Y\right) \rightarrow {C}^{ * }\left( X\right) \) induces a map \( {f}^{ * } : {H}^{ * }\left( Y\right) \rightarrow {H}^{ * }\left( X\right) \) .
Proof. It is routine to check that \( {f}^{ * }\left( {{Z}^{n}\left( Y\right) }\right) \subseteq {Z}^{n}\left( X\right) \) and \( {f}^{ * }\left( {{B}^{n}\left( Y\right) }\right) \subseteq {B}^{n}\left( X\right) \) .

Theorem 5.5.4. Singular cohomology is an ordinary cohomology theory with \( \mathbb{Z} \) coefficients.

Theorem 5.5.7. Singular cohomology with coefficients in \( G \) is an ordinary cohomology theory with coefficient group \( G = {H}^{0}\left( {X;G}\right) \) .
Proof. Again this mirrors the proof for singular homology in Sect. 5.1. Again Axiom 4 uses the fact that, for every \( n \), the sequence \( 0 \rightarrow {C}^{n}\left( {X, A}\right) \rightarrow {C}^{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow \) \( {C}^{n}\left( A\right) \rightarrow 0 \) is split exact.

Proof. Again we omit the purely algebraic argument, but we note that, while the cochain groups \( {C}^{ * }\left( X\right) \) are not in general free, they are torsion-free, and that fact, together with our additional hypotheses, suffices to be able to apply that argument.

Theorem 5.6.17. Let \( X \) be a space and let \( C \) and \( D \) be subspaces of \( X \) . Assume that \( \{ X \times C, D \times X\} \) and \( \{ C, D\} \) are both excisive couples.

Theorem 6.2.13. Let \( M \) be a connected \( n \) -manifold. If \( M \) is simply connected, then \( M \) is orientable.

The map \( w : {\pi }_{1}\left( {M, x}\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \) is a map to an abelian group, so factors through the abelianization of \( {\pi }_{1}\left( {M, x}\right) \) .

Theorem 6.2.26. Let \( M \) be an oriented manifold with boundary. Then \( \partial M \) has a well-defined induced orientation given by the construction in Definition 6.2.25.

The first claim follows immediately from Theorems 7.1.9 and 7.2.9.\n\nAs for the second claim, if \( s \) is a section, then \( {s}_{ * } : {\pi }_{n}\left( {B,{b}_{0}}\right) \rightarrow {\pi }_{n}\left( {E,{f}_{0}}\right) \) splits \( {p}_{ * } \) , so this long exact sequence breaks up into a series of split ...

Theorem 7.2.14. \( {\pi }_{i}\left( {S}^{n}\right) = 0 \) for \( i < n \) .
Proof. Give \( {S}^{i} \) a CW-structure with one cell in dimension \( i \) and one cell in dimension 0, and give \( {S}^{n} \) a CW-structure with one cell in dimension \( n \) and one cell in dimension 0 . Let \( f : {S}^{i} \rightarrow {S}^{n} \) represent an element of \( {\pi }_{i}\left( {S}^{n}\right) \) . Then b...

Corollary 7.2.16. For any \( n \geq 1,{\pi }_{n}\left( {S}^{n}\right) \cong \mathbb{Z} \) .
Proof. By Hopf's theorem, we have an isomorphism\n\n\[ \n{\pi }_{n}\left( {S}^{n}\right) \rightarrow \left\{ {\text{ degrees of maps from }{S}^{n}\text{ to }{S}^{n}}\right\} \n\] \n\nBut this latter set is \( \mathbb{Z} \) by Theorem 4.2.31.

Lemma 7.2.18. The following diagram commutes:
\[ \cdots \rightarrow {\pi }_{n}\left( {A,{x}_{0}}\right) \rightarrow {\pi }_{n}\left( {X,{x}_{0}}\right) \rightarrow {\pi }_{n}\left( {X, A,{x}_{0}}\right) \overset{\partial }{ \rightarrow }{\pi }_{n - 1}\left( {A,{x}_{0}}\right) \rightarrow \cdots \]

Theorem 7.2.21. (a) For any space \( X,{\sum X} \) is path-connected.

Let \( A \) be a nonsingular \( n \times n \) rational matrix and \( b \) a rational \( n \) -vector. The encoding size of the unique solution of \( {Ax} = b \) is polynomially bounded by the encoding size of \( \left( {A, b}\right) \) .
By Remark 1.1, we may assume that \( \left( {A, b}\right) \) has integer entries. Let \( \theta \) be the largest absolute value of an entry in \( \left( {A, b}\right) \) . The absolute value of the determinant of any square \( n \times n \) submatrix of \( \left( {A, b}\right) \) is at most \( n!{\theta }^{n} \) (by u...

Lemma 1.3. Let \( S \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) and \( c \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) . Then \( \sup \{ {cx} : x \in S\} = \sup \{ {cx} : \) \( x \in \operatorname{conv}\left( S\right) \} \) .
Proof. Since \( S \subseteq \operatorname{conv}\left( S\right) \), we have \( \sup \{ {cx} : x \in S\} \leq \sup \{ {cx} : x \in \) \( \operatorname{conv}\left( S\right) \} \) . We prove \( \sup \{ {cx} : x \in S\} \geq \sup \{ {cx} : x \in \operatorname{conv}\left( S\right) \} \) . Let \( {z}^{ * } \mathrel{\text{:=}}...

Lemma 1.4. Consider the 2-variable mixed integer linear set \( S : = \{ \left( {x, y}\right) \in \) \( \left. {\mathbb{Z} \times {\mathbb{R}}_{ + } : x - y \leq \beta }\right\} \) . Let \( f \mathrel{\text{:=}} \beta - \lfloor \beta \rfloor \) . Then\n\n\[ x - \frac{1}{1 - f}y \leq \lfloor \beta \rfloor \]\n\n(1.11)\ni...
Proof. We prove that the inequality (1.11) is satisfied by every \( \left( {x, y}\right) \in S \) . Note that, since \( x \in \mathbb{Z} \), either \( x \leq \lfloor \beta \rfloor \) or \( x \geq \lfloor \beta \rfloor + 1 \) . If \( x \leq \lfloor \beta \rfloor \), then adding this inequality to the inequality \( - y \...

Proposition 1.6. Let \( a, b \in \mathbb{Z},\left( {a, b}\right) \neq \left( {0,0}\right) \) . Then\n\n\[ \gcd \left( {a, b}\right) = \min \{ {ax} + {by} : x, y \in \mathbb{Z},{ax} + {by} \geq 1\} . \]
Proof. Let \( m \mathrel{\text{:=}} \min \{ {ax} + {by} : x, y \in \mathbb{Z},{ax} + {by} \geq 1\} \) (it is clear that this set is not empty, as \( \left( {a, b}\right) \neq \left( {0,0}\right) \), thus this minimum exists). Clearly, if \( d\left| {a\text{and}d}\right| b \) then \( d \mid {ax} + {by} \) for every \( x...

Proposition 1.7. Given \( a, b \in {\mathbb{Z}}_{ + } \) such that \( a \geq b \) and \( a > 0 \), the Euclidean algorithm runs in polynomial time and correctly returns \( \gcd \left( {a, b}\right) \) .
Proof. At each iteration the pair \( \left( {a, b}\right) \) is replaced by \( \left( {b, r}\right) \), where \( r = a - \) \( \lfloor a/b\rfloor b \) . Therefore \( r < a/2 \) . Furthermore, in the pair \( \left( {a, b}\right), r \) replaces \( a \) after two iterations. Therefore the Euclidean algorithm terminates af...
