Atlas.AlgebraicTopologyI.code.ContractibleHomology

Homotopy invariance of singular homology: a homotopy equivalence $X \simeq Y$ induces an isomorphism $H_n(X; \mathbb{Z}) \cong H_n(Y; \mathbb{Z})$ for every $n$.

Instances For

    For a contractible space $X$, the augmentation gives an isomorphism $H_0(X; \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$. Used in the proof of Corollary 5.7.

    Instances For

      For a contractible space $X$ and $n \neq 0$, the singular homology $H_n(X; \mathbb{Z})$ vanishes. Combined with singularHomologyZeroIsoZ_of_contractible, this yields Corollary 5.7.

      Packaged data of singular homology for a contractible space: an isomorphism $H_0(X; \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$ together with a proof that $H_n(X; \mathbb{Z}) = 0$ for $n \neq 0$.

      Instances For

        Corollary 5.7. The singular homology of a contractible space $X$ is given by $H_0(X; \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$ and $H_n(X; \mathbb{Z}) = 0$ for $n \neq 0$.

        Instances For

          The augmentation map $\varepsilon : H_0(Z; \mathbb{Z}) \to \mathbb{Z}$, defined as the composition of the map induced by $Z \to \mathrm{pt}$ with the canonical identification $H_0(\mathrm{pt}; \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$.
