Proposition 4.1.15 (Serre duality) Let \( X \) be a compact complex manifold. For any holomorphic vector bundle \( E \) on \( X \) the natural pairing\n\n\[ \n{H}^{p, q}\left( {X, E}\right) \times {H}^{n - p, n - q}\left( {X,{E}^{ * }}\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \n\]\n\nis non-degenerate.
Proof. Fix hermitian structures \( h \) and \( g \) on \( E \) and \( X \), respectively. Then consider the pairing \( {\mathcal{H}}^{p, q}\left( {X, E}\right) \times {\mathcal{H}}^{n - p, n - q}\left( {X,{E}^{ * }}\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \) . In order to show that this pairing is non-degenerate, we have to show...

Corollary 4.1.16 For any holomorphic vector bundle \( E \) over a compact complex manifold \( X \) there exist natural \( \mathbb{C} \) -linear isomorphisms (Serre duality):
Remark 4.1.17 The isomorphism \( {\bar{ * }}_{E} : {\mathcal{H}}^{p, q}\left( {X, E}\right) \cong {\mathcal{H}}^{n - p, n - q}\left( {X,{E}^{ * }}\right) \) induces an isomorphism \( {H}^{p, q}\left( {X, E}\right) \cong {H}^{n - p, n - q}\left( {X,{E}^{ * }}\right) \) .

Proposition 4.2.3 If \( \nabla \) and \( {\nabla }^{\prime } \) are two connections on a vector bundle \( E \) , then \( \nabla - {\nabla }^{\prime } \) is \( {\mathcal{A}}_{M}^{0} \) -linear and can, therefore, be considered as an element in \( {\mathcal{A}}^{1}\left( {M,\operatorname{End}\left( E\right) }\right) \) ....
Proof. We have to show that \( \left( {\nabla - {\nabla }^{\prime }}\right) \left( {f \cdot s}\right) = f \cdot \left( {\nabla - {\nabla }^{\prime }}\right) \left( s\right) \), which is an immediate consequence of the Leibniz rule (4.2).

Proposition 4.2.14 Let \( \left( {E, h}\right) \) be a holomorphic vector bundle together with an hermitian structure. Then there exists a unique hermitian connection \( \nabla \) that is compatible with the holomorphic structure. This connection is called the Chern connection on \( \left( {E, h}\right) \) .
Proof. Let us first show the uniqueness. This is is a purely local problem. Thus, we may assume that \( E \) is the trivial holomorphic vector bundle, i.e. \( E = X \times {\mathbb{C}}^{r} \) . According to Remark 4.2.5 the connection \( \nabla \) is of the form \( \nabla = d + A \), where \( A = \left( {a}_{ij}\right)...

Proposition 4.2.19 A holomorphic vector bundle \( E \) admits a holomorphic connection if and only if its Atiyah class \( A\left( E\right) \in {H}^{1}\left( {X,{\Omega }_{X} \otimes \operatorname{End}\left( E\right) }\right) \) is trivial.
Proof. First note that \( d{\psi }_{ij} = \partial {\psi }_{ij} \), as the \( {\psi }_{ij} \) are holomorphic.\n\nLocal holomorphic connections on \( {U}_{i} \times {\mathbb{C}}^{r} \) are of the form \( \partial + {A}_{i} \) .

This follows from \( \nabla \left( {F}_{\nabla }\right) \left( s\right) = \nabla \left( {{F}_{\nabla }\left( s\right) }\right) - {F}_{\nabla }\left( {\nabla \left( s\right) }\right) = \nabla \left( {{\nabla }^{2}\left( s\right) }\right) - \) \( {\nabla }^{2}\left( {\nabla \left( s\right) }\right) = 0 \) .

This is the following straightforward calculation\n\n\[ {F}_{\nabla }\left( {{s}_{1} \otimes {s}_{2}}\right) \]\n\n\[ = \nabla \left( {\nabla \left( {{s}_{1} \otimes {s}_{2}}\right) }\right) = \nabla \left( {{\nabla }_{1}\left( {s}_{1}\right) \otimes {s}_{2} + {s}_{1} \otimes {\nabla }_{2}\left...

We claim that the curvature \( F \) of the Chern connection on the holomorphic line bundle \( \mathcal{O}\left( 1\right) \) endowed with this hermitian metric is\n\n\[ \frac{i}{2\pi }F = {\omega }_{\mathrm{{FS}}} \]\n\nwhere \( {\omega }_{\mathrm{{FS}}} \) is the Fubini-Study Kähler form (see Example 3.1.9, i)).
This can be verified locally. On a standard open subset \( {U}_{i} \subset {\mathbb{P}}^{n} \) one has \( {\omega }_{\mathrm{{FS}}} = \frac{i}{2\pi }\partial \bar{\partial }\log \left( {1+\sum {\left| {w}_{i}\right| }^{2}}\right) . \)\n\nThe hermitian structure of \( {\left. \mathcal{O}\left( 1\right) \right| }_{{U}_{i...

Lemma 4.3.17 The curvature of the induced connection \( {\nabla }_{1} \) on \( {E}_{1} \) is given by \( {F}_{{\nabla }_{1}} = {\operatorname{pr}}_{1} \circ {F}_{\nabla } - {b}_{2} \circ {b}_{1} \) .
Now let \( {E}_{1} \) be a holomorphic subbundle of the trivial holomorphic vector bundle \( E = {\mathcal{O}}^{\oplus r} \) endowed with the trivial constant hermitian structure. The curvature of the Chern connection \( \nabla \) on \( E \) is trivial, as \( \nabla \) is just the exterior differential. Hence, \( {F}_{...

Proposition 4.3.18 The curvature \( {F}_{{\nabla }_{1}} \) of the Chern connection \( {\nabla }_{1} \) of a subbundle \( {E}_{1} \subset E = {\mathcal{O}}^{\oplus r} \) (with the induced hermitian structure) is semi-negative.
Proof. By the previous lemma we have \( {F}_{{\nabla }_{1}} = - {b}_{2} \circ {b}_{1} \) . Thus, if \( {h}_{2} \) is the induced hermitian structure on the quotient \( E/{E}_{1} \) then\n\n\[ \n{h}_{1}\left( {{F}_{{\nabla }_{1}}\left( s\right), s}\right) = - {h}_{1}\left( {{b}_{2}\left( {{b}_{1}\left( s\right) }\right)...

Example 4.3.20 The Euler sequence on \( {\mathbb{P}}^{n} \) twisted by \( \mathcal{O}\left( {-1}\right) \) is of the form\n\n\[ 0 \rightarrow \mathcal{O}\left( {-1}\right) \rightarrow {\mathcal{O}}^{\oplus n + 1} \rightarrow {\mathcal{T}}_{{\mathbb{P}}^{n}}\left( {-1}\right) \rightarrow 0. \]
Hence, \( {\mathcal{T}}_{{\mathbb{P}}^{n}}\left( {-1}\right) \) admits an hermitian structure such that the curvature of the Chern connection is semi-positive. Twisting by \( \mathcal{O}\left( 1\right) \) yields a connection on \( {\mathcal{T}}_{{\mathbb{P}}^{n}} \) with positive curvature. In fact, this is the curvatu...

Proof. Once a trivialization \( E\left( x\right) \cong {\mathbb{C}}^{r} \) is fixed, the above definition makes sense. Since \( P \) is invariant, it is independent of the chosen trivialization.\n\nClearly, the \( k \) -linear map defined in this way induces also a \( k \) -multilinear map on the level of global sectio...

Lemma 4.4.4 For any forms \( {\gamma }_{j} \in {\mathcal{A}}^{{i}_{j}}\left( {M,\operatorname{End}\left( E\right) }\right) \) one has\n\n\[ \n{dP}\left( {{\gamma }_{1},\ldots ,{\gamma }_{k}}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{j = 1}}^{k}{\left( -1\right) }^{\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{\ell = 1}}^{{j - 1}}{i}_{\ell }}P\left( ...
Proof. This can be seen by a local calculation. We write \( \nabla = d + A \), where \( A \) is the local connection matrix of \( \nabla \) . The induced connection on \( \operatorname{End}\left( E\right) \) is of the form \( \nabla = d + A \) with \( A \) acting as \( \gamma \mapsto \left\lbrack {A,\gamma }\right\rbra...

Corollary 4.4.5 Let \( {F}_{\nabla } \) be the curvature of an arbitrary connection \( \nabla \) on a vector bundle \( E \) of rank \( r \) . Then for any invariant \( k \) -multilinear symmetric polynomial \( P \) on \( \mathfrak{{gl}}\left( {r,\mathbb{C}}\right) \) the induced \( {2k} \) -form \( \widetilde{P}\left( ...
Proof. This is an immediate consequence of the Bianchi identity (Lemma 4.3.5), which says \( \nabla \left( {F}_{\nabla }\right) = 0 \), and the previous lemma.
Yes
Lemma 4.4.6 If \( \nabla \) and \( {\nabla }^{\prime } \) are two connections on the same bundle \( E \), then \( \left\lbrack {\widetilde{P}\left( {F}_{\nabla }\right) }\right\rbrack = \left\lbrack {\widetilde{P}\left( {F}_{{\nabla }^{\prime }}\right) }\right\rbrack \)
Proof. The space of all connections is an affine space over \( {\mathcal{A}}^{1}\left( {M,\operatorname{End}\left( E\right) }\right) \) , i.e. if \( \nabla \) is given, then any other connection is of the form \( {\nabla }^{\prime } = \nabla + A \) for some \( A \in {\mathcal{A}}^{1}\left( {\operatorname{End}\left( E\r...

Let us compute the characteristic classes of a hypersurface \( Y \subset X \) . The normal bundle sequence in this case takes the form\n\n\[ \n{\left. 0 \rightarrow {\mathcal{T}}_{Y} \rightarrow {\mathcal{T}}_{X}\right| }_{Y} \rightarrow {\mathcal{O}}_{Y}\left( Y\right) \rightarrow 0.\n\]
Since any short exact sequence of holomorphic vector bundles splits as a sequence of complex vector bundles, the Whitney product formula yields \( {i}^{ * }\mathrm{c}\left( X\right) = \mathrm{c}\left( Y\right) \cdot {i}^{ * }\mathrm{c}\left( {\mathcal{O}\left( Y\right) }\right) \) . Therefore,\n\n\[ \n\mathrm{c}\left( ...

They are compared as follows:\n\n![685f788c-0e84-4dd0-9626-17bad8d4dbd6_210_1.jpg](images/685f788c-0e84-4dd0-9626-17bad8d4dbd6_210_1.j...

Corollary 5.1.4 Let \( {\gamma }_{i} \) denote the formal Chern roots of \( {\mathcal{T}}_{X} \) . Then \[ {\chi }_{y} = {\int }_{X}\mathop{\prod }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}\left( {1 + y{e}^{-{\gamma }_{i}}}\right) \frac{{\gamma }_{i}}{1 - {e}^{-{\gamma }_{i}}}. \]
Proof. This follows immediately from the definition of the Todd classes, Theorem 5.1.1 and the equality \[ \operatorname{ch}\left( {{\bigoplus }_{p = 0}^{n}{\Omega }_{X}^{p}{y}^{p}}\right) = \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}\left( {1 + y{e}^{-{y}_{i}}}\right) \] the proof of which is left to the reader.

Lemma 5.2.3 (Nakano identity) Let \( \nabla \) be the Chern connection on \( E \) . Then \[ \left\lbrack {\Lambda ,{\bar{\partial }}_{E}}\right\rbrack = - i{\left( {\nabla }^{1,0}\right) }^{ * } = i\left( {{\bar{ * }}_{{E}^{ * }} \circ {\nabla }_{{E}^{ * }}^{1,0} \circ {\bar{ * }}_{E}}\right) . \]
Proof. The second equality is the definition of the adjoint operator of \( {\nabla }^{1,0} \) . The first equality is local and we may, therefore, use an orthonormal trivialization \( \psi : {\left. E\right| }_{U} \cong U \times {\mathbb{C}}^{r} \) . With respect to such a trivialization the Hodge operator \( {\bar{ * ...

Consider \( \mathcal{O}\left( 1\right) \) on \( {\mathbb{P}}^{n} \), which is positive due to Example 4.3.12 (see also page 197).

Using Serre duality this yields\n\n\[ \n{H}^{q}\left( {{\mathbb{P}}^{n},\mathcal{O}\left( m\right) }\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0 & \text{ if }0 < q < n \\ 0 & \text{ if }q = 0, m < 0 \\ 0 & \text{ if }q = n, m > - n - 1. \end{array}\right. \n\]

Proposition 5.2.7 Let \( L \) be a positive line bundle on a compact Kähler manifold \( X \) .

Proof. Choose hermitian structures on \( E \) and \( L \) and denote the associated Chern connections by \( {\nabla }_{E} \) and \( {\nabla }_{L} \), respectively. By assumption we may suppose that \( \left( {i/{2\pi }}\right) {F}_{{\nabla }_{L}} \) is a Kähler form \( \omega \) . We endow \( X \) with the correspondin...

Lemma 5.3.2 For any line bundle \( M \) on \( X \) and integers \( {n}_{1},\ldots ,{n}_{\ell } > 0 \) the line bundle \( {\sigma }^{ * }\left( {{L}^{k} \otimes M}\right) \otimes \mathcal{O}\left( {-\sum {n}_{j}{E}_{j}}\right) \) on \( \widehat{X} \) is positive for \( k \gg 0 \) .
Proof. In a neighbourhood \( {x}_{j} \in {U}_{j} \subset X \) of each point \( {x}_{j} \) the blow-up can be seen as the incidence variety \( {\widehat{U}}_{j} = \mathcal{O}\left( {-1}\right) \subset {U}_{j} \times {\mathbb{P}}^{n - 1} \) . Moreover, \( \mathcal{O}\left( {E}_{j}\right) \) is isomorphic to to \( {p}_{j}...

Corollary 5.3.3 A compact Kähler manifold \( X \) is projective if and only if \( {\mathcal{K}}_{X} \cap {H}^{2}\left( {X,\mathbb{Z}}\right) \neq \varnothing \)

Then the first order deformations of \( I \) correspond to \( \bar{\partial } \) -closed elements in \( {\mathcal{A}}^{0,1}\left( {\mathcal{T}}_{X}\right) \) and by the previous lemma those that define isomorphic ones differ by elements of the image of \( \bar{\partial } : ...

To see this, assume that \( U \) is relatively compact \( {}^{8} \) in \( X \) .

Theorem 15.5 (Grauert [86]) Let \( D \) be a relatively compact strongly pseudoconvex domain in a complex manifold \( X \), then \( D \) is holomorphically convex.
Grauert's proof of this theorem consists of two fundamental steps. The first step we formulate as a lemma (although it has the strong merit of being a theorem in its own right).\n\nLemma 15.6 The cohomolo

Lemma 15.7 For each point \( p \in \partial D \), there exists a holomorphic function \( f \in \) \( \mathcal{O}\left( D\right) \) such that\n\n\[ \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{x \rightarrow p}}\left| {f(x}\right| = \infty \]
It is clear from this lemma that \( D \) must be holomorphically convex, and that concludes the proof of the theorem, assuming these two lemmas.

Lemma 15.8 Let \( V \) and \( U \) be two open subsets of \( X \) with \( V \subset \subset U \), then the natural restriction mapping\n\n\[ r : \mathcal{O}\left( U\right) \rightarrow \mathcal{O}\left( V\right) \]\n\nis a continuous linear mapping of Fréchet spaces, and moreover, it is a completely continuous mapping.
This is a generalization of theorems of Montel and Vitali from classical function theory to this more abstract setting. See, for instance, a proof of this in Gunning and Rossi's monograph [93] (Proposition 1, Chap. VIII, pp. 234-235).

Theorem 15.7 (Leray [142]) If the simplices of the covering \( \mathfrak{U} \) have the property that\n\n\[ \n{H}^{q}\left( {\left| \sigma \right| ,\mathcal{F}}\right) = 0 \n\]\n\nthen\n\n\[ \n{H}^{q}\left( {X,\mathcal{F}}\right) \cong {H}^{q}\left( {\mathfrak{U},\mathcal{F}}\right), q \geq 0. \n\]
This theorem is proved \( {}^{11} \) and used in Henri Cartan’s lectures in 1954 [35] on the finite-dimensionality of cohomology groups on compact complex manifolds, as mentioned above, and we will see below how Grauert used it in the same way in the following paragraphs.

Schwartz devotes two pages to his proof, using the relatively new (at that time) formalism of locally convex topological vector spaces. A more detailed proof can be found in Gunning and Rossi ([93], pp. 294-295). See also the exposition by Serre in the Cartan seminar from 1954 [214].

Let us rederive the result in Example 0.8 that a sphere with two points identified is homotopy equivalent to \( {S}^{1} \vee {S}^{2} \) .
The sphere with two points identified can be obtained by attaching \( {S}^{2} \) to \( {S}^{1} \) by a map that wraps a closed arc \( A \) in \( {S}^{2} \) around \( {S}^{1} \) , as shown in the figure. Since \( A \) is contractible, this attaching map is homotopic to a constant map, and attaching \( {S}^{2} \) to \( {...

In similar fashion we can see that the necklace in Example 0.9 is homotopy equivalent to the wedge sum of a circle with \( n \) 2-spheres.
The necklace can be obtained from a circle by attaching \( n \) 2-spheres along arcs, so the necklace is homotopy equivalent to the space obtained by attaching \( n \) 2-spheres to a circle at points. Then we can slide these attaching points around the circle until they all coincide, producing the wedge sum.
Yes
Here is an application of the earlier fact that collapsing a contractible subcomplex is a homotopy equivalence: If \( \left( {X, A}\right) \) is a CW pair, consisting of a cell complex \( X \) and a subcomplex \( A \), then \( X/A \simeq X \cup {CA} \), the mapping cone of the inclusion \( A \hookrightarrow X \) .
For we have \( X/A = \left( {X \cup {CA}}\right) /{CA} \simeq X \cup {CA} \) since \( {CA} \) is a contractible subcomplex of \( X \cup {CA} \) .
Yes
If \( \left( {X, A}\right) \) is a CW pair and \( A \) is contractible in \( X \), that is, the inclusion \( A \hookrightarrow X \) is homotopic to a constant map, then \( X/A \simeq X \vee {SA} \) .
Namely, by the previous example we have \( X/A \simeq X \cup {CA} \), and then since \( A \) is contractible in \( X \), the mapping cone \( X \cup {CA} \) of the inclusion \( A \hookrightarrow X \) is homotopy equivalent to the mapping cone of a constant map, which is \( X \vee {SA} \) .

A pair \( \left( {X, A}\right) \) has the homotopy extension property if \( A \) has a mapping cylinder neighborhood in \( X \)
To verify the homotopy extension property, notice first that \( I \times I \) retracts onto \( I \times \{ 0\} \cup \partial I \times I \), hence \( B \times I \times I \) retracts onto \( B \times I \times \{ 0\} \cup B \times \partial I \times I \), and this retraction induces a retraction of \( {M}_{f} \times I \) o...

Proposition 0.16. If \( \left( {X, A}\right) \) is a CW pair, then \( X \times \{ 0\} \cup A \times I \) is a deformation retract of \( X \times I \), hence \( \left( {X, A}\right) \) has the homotopy extension property.
Proof: There is a retraction \( r : {D}^{n} \times I \rightarrow {D}^{n} \times \{ 0\} \cup \partial {D}^{n} \times I \), for example the radial projection from the point \( \left( {0,2}\right) \in {D}^{n} \times \mathbb{R} \).

Proposition 0.18. If \( \left( {{X}_{1}, A}\right) \) is a CW pair and we have attaching maps \( f, g : A \rightarrow {X}_{0} \) that are homotopic, then \( {X}_{0}{ \sqcup }_{f}{X}_{1} \simeq {X}_{0}{ \sqcup }_{g}{X}_{1} \) rel \( {X}_{0} \) .
Proof: If \( F : A \times I \rightarrow {X}_{0} \) is a homotopy from \( f \) to \( g \), consider the space \( {X}_{0}{ \sqcup }_{F}\left( {{X}_{1} \times I}\right) \) . This contains both \( {X}_{0}{ \sqcup }_{f}{X}_{1} \) and \( {X}_{0}{ \sqcup }_{g}{X}_{1} \) as subspaces. A deformation retraction of \( {X}_{1} \ti...

Corollary 0.21. A map \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) is a homotopy equivalence iff \( X \) is a deformation retract of the mapping cylinder \( {M}_{f} \) . Hence, two spaces \( X \) and \( Y \) are homotopy \( \parallel \) equivalent iff there is a third space containing both \( X \) and \( Y \) as deformation retracts.
Proof: In the diagram at the right the maps \( i \) and \( j \) are the inclu-\nsions and \( r \) is the canonical retraction, so \( f = {ri} \) and \( i \simeq {jf} \) . Since \( j \) and \( r \) are homotopy equivalences, it follows that \( f \) is a homotopy equivalence iff \( i \) is a homotopy equivalence, since t...

Proposition 1.5. The map \( {\beta }_{h} : {\pi }_{1}\left( {X,{x}_{1}}\right) \rightarrow {\pi }_{1}\left( {X,{x}_{0}}\right) \) defined by \( {\beta }_{h}\left\lbrack f\right\rbrack = \left\lbrack {h \cdot f \cdot \bar{h}}\right\rbrack \) is an isomorphism.
Proof: If \( {f}_{t} \) is a homotopy of loops based at \( {x}_{1} \) then \( h \cdot {f}_{t} \cdot \bar{h} \) is a homotopy of loops based at \( {x}_{0} \), so \( {\beta }_{h} \) is well-defined.

Proposition 1.6. A space \( X \) is simply-connected iff there is a unique homotopy class

Then we can define a map \( r : {D}^{2} \rightarrow {S}^{1} \) by letting \( r\left( x\right) \) be the point of \( {S}^{1} \) where the ray in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \) starting at \( h\left( x\right) \) and passing through \(...

Proof: Let \( {h}_{t} \) be the restriction of \( h \) to the interval \( \left\lbrack {0, t}\right\rbrack \) , with a reparametrization so that the domain of \( {h}_{t} \) is still \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \) .

Proof: Let us expand \( Y \) to a slightly larger space \( Z \) that deformation retracts onto \( Y \) and is more convenient for applying van Kampen’s theorem. The space \( Z \) is obtained from \( Y \) by attaching rectangular strips \( {S}_{\alpha } = I \times I \), with the lower edge \( I \times \{ 0\} \) attached...

So if \( {M}_{g} \simeq {M}_{h} \) then \( {\pi }_{1}\left( {M}_{g}\right) \approx {\pi }_{1}\left( {M}_{h}\right) \), hence the abelianizations of these groups are isomorphic, which implies \...

The boundary maps \( {\partial }_{n} \) preserve this direct sum decomposition, taking \( {C}_{n}\left( {X}_{\alpha }\right) \) to \( {C}_{n ...
Yes
If \( X \) is nonempty and path-connected, then \( {H}_{0}\left( X\right) \approx \mathbb{Z} \) . Hence for \( \parallel \) any space \( X,{H}_{0}\left( X\right) \) is a direct sum of \( \mathbb{Z} \) ’s, one for each path-component of \( X \) .
Proof: By definition, \( {H}_{0}\left( X\right) = {C}_{0}\left( X\right) /\operatorname{Im}{\partial }_{1} \) since \( {\partial }_{0} = 0 \) . Define a homomorphism \( \varepsilon : {C}_{0}\left( X\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} \) by \( \varepsilon \left( {\mathop{\sum }\limits_{i}{n}_{i}{\sigma }_{i}}\right) = \matho...

Proposition 2.8. If \( X \) is a point, then \( {H}_{n}\left( X\right) = 0 \) for \( n > 0 \) and \( {H}_{0}\left( X\right) \approx \mathbb{Z} \) .
Proof: In this case there is a unique singular \( n \) -simplex \( {\sigma }_{n} \) for each \( n \), and \( \partial \left( {\sigma }_{n}\right) = \) \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{i}{\left( -1\right) }^{i}{\sigma }_{n - 1} \), a sum of \( n + 1 \) terms, which is therefore 0 for \( n \) odd and \( {\sigma }_{n - 1} \) for...

Theorem 2.13. If \( X \) is a space and \( A \) is a nonempty closed subspace that is a deformation retract of some neighborhood in \( X \), then there is an exact sequence\n\n\[ \cdots \rightarrow {\widetilde{H}}_{n}\left( A\right) \overset{{i}_{ * }}{ \rightarrow }{\widetilde{H}}_{n}\left( X\right) \overset{{j}_{ * }...
The map \( \partial \) will be constructed in the course of the proof. The idea is that an element \( x \in {\widetilde{H}}_{n}\left( {X/A}\right) \) can be represented by a chain \( \alpha \) in \( X \) with \( \partial \alpha \) a cycle in \( A \) whose homology class is \( \partial x \in {\widetilde{H}}_{n - 1}\left...

In the long exact sequence of reduced homology groups for the pair \( \left( {{D}^{n},\partial {D}^{n}}\right) \), the maps \( {H}_{i}\left( {{D}^{n},\partial {D}^{n}}\right) \overset{\partial }{ \rightarrow }{\widetilde{H}}_{i - 1}\left( {S}^{n - 1}\right) \) are isomorphisms for all \( i > 0 \) since the remaining te...
Thus we obtain the calculation\n\n\[ \n{H}_{i}\left( {{D}^{n},\partial {D}^{n}}\right) \approx \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \mathbb{Z} & \text{ for }i = n \\ 0 & \text{ otherwise } \end{array}\right.\n\]

Proposition 2.22. For good pairs \( \left( {X, A}\right) \), the quotient map \( q : \left( {X, A}\right) \rightarrow \left( {X/A, A/A}\right) \) induces isomorphisms \( {q}_{ * } : {H}_{n}\left( {X, A}\right) \rightarrow {H}_{n}\left( {X/A, A/A}\right) \approx {\widetilde{H}}_{n}\left( {X/A}\right) \) for all \( n \) ...
Proof: Let \( V \) be a neighborhood of \( A \) in \( X \) that deformation retracts onto \( A \) . We have a commutative diagram\n\n\[ \n{H}_{n}\left( {X/A, A/A}\right) \rightarrow {H}_{n}\left( {X/A, V/A}\right) \leftarrow {H}_{n}\left( {X/A - A/A, V/A - A/A}\right) \]\n\nThe upper left horizontal map is an isomorphi...

Corollary 2.24. If the CW complex \( X \) is the union of subcomplexes \( A \) and \( B \), then the inclusion \( \left( {B, A \cap B}\right) \hookrightarrow \left( {X, A}\right) \) induces isomorphisms \( {H}_{n}\left( {B, A \cap B}\right) \rightarrow {H}_{n}\left( {X, A}\right) \) for all \( n \) .
Proof: Since CW pairs are good, Proposition 2.22 allows us to pass to the quotient spaces \( B/\left( {A \cap B}\right) \) and \( X/A \) which are homeomorphic, assuming we are not in the trivial case \( A \cap B = \varnothing \) .
No
For a wedge sum \( { \vee }_{\alpha }{X}_{\alpha } \), the inclusions \( {i}_{\alpha } : {X}_{\alpha } \hookrightarrow { \vee }_{\alpha }{X}_{\alpha } \) induce an isomorphism \( { \oplus }_{\alpha }{i}_{\alpha * } : { \oplus }_{\alpha }{\widetilde{H}}_{n}\left( {X}_{\alpha }\right) \rightarrow {\widetilde{H}}_{n}\left...
Proof: Since reduced homology is the same as homology relative to a basepoint, this follows from the proposition by taking \( \left( {X, A}\right) = \left( {\mathop{\coprod }\limits_{\alpha }{X}_{\alpha },\mathop{\coprod }\limits_{\alpha }\left\{ {x}_{\alpha }\right\} }\right) \) .

Theorem 2.26. If nonempty open sets \( U \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{m} \) and \( V \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) are homeomorphic, I then \( m = n \) .
Proof: For \( x \in U \) we have \( {H}_{k}\left( {U, U-\{ x\} }\right) \approx {H}_{k}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{m},{\mathbb{R}}^{m}-\{ x\} }\right) \) by excision. From the long exact sequence for the pair \( \left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{m},{\mathbb{R}}^{m}-\{ x\} }\right) \) we get \( {H}_{k}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{m},{\mathbb{R}...
Yes
Proposition 2.29. \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{2} \) is the only nontrivial group that can act freely on \( {S}^{n} \) if \( n \) is even.
Proof: Since the degree of a homeomorphism must be \( \pm 1 \), an action of a group \( G \) on \( {S}^{n} \) determines a degree function \( d : G \rightarrow \{ \pm 1\} \) . This is a homomorphism since \( \deg {fg} = \deg f\deg g \) . If the action is free, then \( d \) sends every nontrivial element of \( G \) to \...

We can use this result to construct a map \( {S}^{n} \rightarrow {S}^{n} \) of any given degree, for each \( n \geq 1 \) .
Let \( q : {S}^{n} \rightarrow { \vee }_{k}{S}^{n} \) be the quotient map obtained by collapsing the complement of \( k \) disjoint open balls \( {B}_{i} \) in \( {S}^{n} \) to a point, and let \( p : {\bigvee }_{k}{S}^{n} \rightarrow {S}^{n} \) identify all the summands to a single sphere. Consider the composition \( ...

In the case of \( {S}^{1} \), the map \( f\left( z\right) = {z}^{k} \), where we view \( {S}^{1} \) as the unit circle in \( \mathbb{C} \), has degree \( k \).
This is evident in the case \( k = 0 \) since \( f \) is then constant. The case \( k < 0 \) reduces to the case \( k > 0 \) by composing with \( z \mapsto {z}^{-1} \), which is a reflection, of degree -1 . To compute the degree when \( k > 0 \), observe first that for any \( y \in {S}^{1},{f}^{-1}\left( y\right) \) co...

Proposition 2.33. \( \deg {Sf} = \deg f \), where \( {Sf} : {S}^{n + 1} \rightarrow {S}^{n + 1} \) is the suspension of the \( \parallel \operatorname{map}f : {S}^{n} \rightarrow {S}^{n} \) .
Proof: Let \( C{S}^{n} \) denote the cone \( \left( {{S}^{n} \times I}\right) /\left( {{S}^{n} \times 1}\right) \) with base \( {S}^{n} = {S}^{n} \times 0 \subset C{S}^{n} \) , so \( C{S}^{n}/{S}^{n} \) is the suspension of \( {S}^{n} \) . The map \( f \) induces \( {Cf} : \left( {C{S}^{n},{S}^{n}}\right) \rightarrow \...

Lemma 2.34. If \( X \) is a \( {CW} \) complex, then:\n\n(a) \( {H}_{k}\left( {{X}^{n},{X}^{n - 1}}\right) \) is zero for \( k \neq n \) and is free abelian for \( k = n \), with a basis in one-to-one correspondence with the \( n \) -cells of \( X \) .\n\n(b) \( {H}_{k}\left( {X}^{n}\right) = 0 \) for \( k > n \) . In ...
Proof: Statement (a) follows immediately from the observation that \( \left( {{X}^{n},{X}^{n - 1}}\right) \) is a good pair and \( {X}^{n}/{X}^{n - 1} \) is a wedge sum of \( n \) -spheres, one for each \( n \) -cell of \( X \) . Here we are using Proposition 2.22 and Corollary 2.25.\n\nTo prove (b), consider the long ...

Theorem 2.35. \( {H}_{n}^{CW}\left( X\right) \approx {H}_{n}\left( X\right) \) .
Proof: From the diagram above, \( {H}_{n}\left( X\right) \) can be identified with \( {H}_{n}\left( {X}^{n}\right) /\operatorname{Im}{\partial }_{n + 1} \) . Since \( {j}_{n} \) is injective, it maps \( \operatorname{Im}{\partial }_{n + 1} \) isomorphically onto \( \operatorname{Im}\left( {{j}_{n}{\partial }_{n + 1}}\r...

Let \( {M}_{g} \) be the closed orientable surface of genus \( g \) with its usual CW structure consisting of one \( 0 - \mathrm{{cell}},{2g1} - \mathrm{{cells}} \), and one 2-cell attached by the product of commutators \( \left\lbrack {{a}_{1},{b}_{1}}\right\rbrack \cdots \left\lbrack {{a}_{g},{b}_{g}}\right\rbrack \)...
As observed above, \( {d}_{1} \) must be 0 since there is only one 0 -cell. Also, \( {d}_{2} \) is 0 because each \( {a}_{i} \) or \( {b}_{i} \) appears with its inverse in \( \left\lbrack {{a}_{1},{b}_{1}}\right\rbrack \cdots \left\lbrack {{a}_{g},{b}_{g}}\right\rbrack \), so the maps \( {\Delta }_{\alpha \beta } \) a...

The closed nonorientable surface \( {N}_{g} \) of genus \( g \) has a cell structure with one \( 0 - \mathrm{{cell}},{g1} - \mathrm{{cells}} \), and one 2-cell attached by the word \( {a}_{1}^{2}{a}_{2}^{2}\cdots {a}_{g}^{2} \).
Again \( {d}_{1} = 0 \), and \( {d}_{2} : \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow {\mathbb{Z}}^{g} \) is specified by the equation \( {d}_{2}\left( 1\right) = \left( {2,\cdots ,2}\right) \) since each \( {a}_{i} \) appears in the attaching word of the 2-cell with total exponent 2 , which means that each \( {\Delta }_{\alpha \beta } \) ...
