https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivariant%20theory | In mathematics, a bivariant theory was introduced by Fulton and MacPherson , in order to put a ring structure on the Chow group of a singular variety, the resulting ring called an operational Chow ring.
On technical levels, a bivariant theory is a mix of a homology theory and a cohomology theory. In general, a homolog... |
