UNIQUENESS THEOREMS Proof. In view of our comparison of theories on pairs of spaces and theories on pairs of CW complexes and our comparison of theories on pairs with reduced theories, it suffices to obtain a natural isomorphism of reduced theories on based CW complexes X. By the additivity axiom, we may as well assume ...
n = ∆n × {0} is a subcomplex. We can then lift h simplex by simplex to a simplicial map ˜h : (∆n × I, ∂∆n × I ∪ ∆n × {1}) −→ (ΓX, |x, 1|) such that ˜h restricts to ˜g′ on ∆n × {0} and γ ◦ ˜h = h. 4.

dule M we have α : H∗(X) ⊗ M −→ H∗(X ⊗ M ). We omit the proof of the following standard result, but we shall shortly give the quite similar proof of a cohomological analogue. Recall that an R-module M is said to be flat if the functor M ⊗ N is exact (that is, preserves exact sequences in the variable N ). We say that a ...
ful to remember that, for any Noetherian ring R, the dual Hom(F, R) of a free R-module is a flat R-module. As indicated above, if Y = Hom(X, M ) and Y ′ = Hom(X ′, M ′) for chain complexes X and X ′ and R-modules M and M ′, then we also have the map of cochain complexes ω : Hom(X, M ) ⊗ Hom(X ′, M ′) −→ Hom(X ⊗ X ′, M ⊗...
(x) is the non-zero element of H 1(RP m; Z2). By the naturality of cup products (f ∗(x))m = f ∗(xm). However, the left side is non-zero in H m(RP m; Z2) and the right side is zero since xm = 0 by our assumption that m > n. The contradiction establishes the conclu- sion. We use this fact together with covering space the...

o give an evaluation pairing H p(X; π) ⊗ Hp(X; ρ) −→ π ⊗ ρ. Taking π = ρ to be a commutative ring R and using its product, there results a pairing H p(X; R) ⊗R Hp(X; R) −→ R. It is usually written hα, xi for α ∈ H p(X; R) and x ∈ Hp(X; R). When R is a field and the Hp(X; R) are finite dimensional vector spaces, the adjoi...
. An R-fundamental class of M at a subspace X is an element z ∈ Hn(M, M − X) such that, for each x ∈ X, the image of z under the map Hn(M, M − X) −→ Hn(M, M − x) induced by the inclusion (M, M − X) −→ (M, M − x) is a generator. If X = M , we refer to z ∈ Hn(M ) as a fundamental class of M . An R-orientation of M is an ...

index 2. This implies the first statement, and the second statement is clear. We can use homology with coefficients in a commutative ring R to construct an analogous R-orientation cover. It depends on the units of R. For example, if R = Z2, then the R-orientation cover is the identity map of M since there is a unique unit...
m and n are congruent to 0 mod 4, the conclusion holds since the signature of the tensor product of two symmetric forms is the product of their signatures.

that q(x) = 0 if x ∈ W . Since q(x1) = 0 and φ(x1, y1) = 1, q(ax1 + y1) = 2a + q(y1) for a ∈ R. Taking a = (1 − q(y1))/2, we find q(ax1 + y1) = 1. If n = 1, this gives r ≥ 1 and completes the proof. If n > 1, define ω : V −→ R2 by ω(x) = (φ(x, x1), φ(x, y1)). Since ω(x1) = (0, 1) and ω(y1) = (1, q(y1)), ω is an epimorph...

Thus we change our point of view and consider a general n-plane bundle p : E −→ B × I. It suffices to show that the restrictions E0 and E1 of E over B × {0} and B × {1} are equivalent. ...

If we give the bundle ξ a Euclidean metric and let D(E) and S(E) denote its unit disk bundle and unit sphere bundle, then there is an evident homeomorphism between T ξ and the quotient space D(E)/S(E). In turn, D(E)/S(E) is homotopy equivalent t...

n element of O(q), and the isotropy group of x0 is O(q − n). Thus the action of O(q) is transitive, and evaluation on x0 induces a homeomorphism O(q)/O(q − n) −→ Vn(Rq) of O(q)-spaces. The action of O(n) ⊂ O(q) is free, and passage to orbits gives a homeomorphism O(q)/O(n)×O(q−n) −→ Gn(Rq). It is intuitively clear and ...
ΓE of sections of E is a vector space under fiberwise addition and scalar multiplication. Using a partition of unity argument, one can show that there is a finite dimensional vector subspace V of Γ(E) such that the map g : X × V −→ E specified by g(x, s) = s(x) is an epimorphism of bundles over X. The resulting short exa...
inclusion of CP ∞ = BU (1) in BU . One can calculate H∗(ΩSU ) and see that it too is a polynomial algebra with an explicitly given generator in each even degree.

nsional reasons, hence ˜H ∗(X) is free Abelian on generators x = [i] and y = [j]. Define an integer h(f ), the Hopf invariant of f , by x2 = h(f )y. We usually regard h(f ) as defined only up to sign (thus ignoring problems of orientations of cells). Note that h(f ) depends only on the homotopy class of f . If n is odd, ...
s cobordant to ∅. Thus M = −M and Nn is a vector space over Z2. Cartesian product of manifolds defines a multiplication Nm × Nn −→ Nm+n. This operation is bilinear, associative, and commutative, and the zero dimensional manifold with a single point provides an identity element. We conclude that N∗ is a graded Z2-algebra...

izing the unit of an algebra, a Z2-coalgebra is required to have a counit ε : C −→ Z2. We understand all of these algebraic structures to be graded, and we say that a coalgebra is connected if Ci = 0 for i < 0 and ε : C0 −→ Z2 is an isomorphism. When considering the Hurewicz homomorphism of π∗(T O), we shall need the f...
X −→ ΩΣX and ΣΩX −→ X are isomorphisms in ¯hS . In particular, up to isomorphism, every object in the category ¯hS is a suspension, hence a double suspension. This implies that each [X, Y ] is an Abelian group and composition is bilinear. Moreover, for any map f : X −→ Y , the canonical map F f −→ ΩCf and its adjoint ...
