The k-th singular cohomology of real projective n-space ℝPⁿ with coefficients in
𝔽₂ = ZMod 2, packaged as a plain Type. Used to set up the Borsuk–Ulam proof via the
mod-2 cohomology ring of ℝPⁿ.
Instances For

ModuleCat representation.
The cup product H^p(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) ⊗ H^q(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) → H^{p+q}(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) on mod-2 cohomology
of ℝPⁿ, exposed as a binary function on the underlying types.
Instances For
The ZMod 2-module structure on F2CohomRPn n k, inherited from the underlying
ModuleCat object.
Every module over the field ZMod 2 is free, so in particular
H^k(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) is a free 𝔽₂-module for 1 ≤ n and k ≤ n.
For 1 ≤ n and k ≤ n, the mod-2 cohomology group H^k(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) is one-dimensional
over 𝔽₂. This encodes the standard fact that H^*(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) ≅ 𝔽₂[x]/(x^{n+1}).
Since H^k(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) is free of rank one over 𝔽₂ (for 1 ≤ n and k ≤ n),
it is a finite 𝔽₂-module.

H^1(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂).
Instances For

mod-2 cohomology ring.
Instances For

H^1(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂).
Instances For
The additive isomorphism H^k(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) ≃+ 𝔽₂ for 1 ≤ n and k ≤ n, obtained
from the fact that this cohomology group is one-dimensional over 𝔽₂.
Instances For
Under the additive isomorphism H^k(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) ≃+ 𝔽₂, the cup power xᵏ is sent to
the unit 1 ∈ 𝔽₂. In particular xᵏ ≠ 0 for k ≤ n.
The first cup power x¹ agrees with the canonical generator x of
H^1(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂).
The top cup power xⁿ ∈ H^n(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) is nonzero. This is the key nonvanishing
fact used in the proof of Borsuk–Ulam.
If the integral singular homology H_k(X; ℤ) vanishes, then the mod-2 singular
cochain complex of X is exact at degree k. A universal-coefficient style transfer
of vanishing from homology to cohomology.
For k > n, the mod-2 singular cochain complex of ℝPⁿ is exact at degree k.
This is the cohomological vanishing above the dimension of the CW complex ℝPⁿ.
Vanishing of H^k(ℝPⁿ; 𝔽₂) above the dimension: for k > n, the group has at most
one element.
Functoriality of mod-2 cohomology: a continuous map f : ℝPⁿ¹ → ℝPⁿ² induces an
additive pullback f* : H^k(ℝPⁿ²; 𝔽₂) → H^k(ℝPⁿ¹; 𝔽₂).

cohomology generator of ℝPᵐ⁻¹ back to the canonical degree-1 generator of ℝPᵐ.
The pullback map on H^1 induced by the descent of an odd g : Sᵐ → Sᵐ⁻¹ is
nonzero: it sends the canonical generator to a nonzero class.
Auxiliary version of pullback_generator_ne_zero proved directly from the
descendedMap_pullback_ne_zero lemma, before being repackaged.
The pullback along the descent of an odd g : Sᵐ → Sᵐ⁻¹ sends the canonical generator
of H^1(ℝPᵐ⁻¹; 𝔽₂) to a nonzero element of H^1(ℝPᵐ; 𝔽₂).
The pullback along the descent of an odd g : Sᵐ → Sᵐ⁻¹ sends the canonical generator
of H^1(ℝPᵐ⁻¹; 𝔽₂) exactly to the canonical generator of H^1(ℝPᵐ; 𝔽₂).
Any continuous map ℝPⁿ² → ℝPⁿ¹ induces an isomorphism on mod-2 cohomology in
degree 0. Both groups are isomorphic to 𝔽₂ and the map preserves the unit.
The cohomology pullback of the multiplicative unit 1 ∈ H^0(ℝPⁿ¹; 𝔽₂) along any
continuous map f : ℝPⁿ² → ℝPⁿ¹ is nonzero.
The cohomology pullback along f : ℝPⁿ² → ℝPⁿ¹ sends the multiplicative unit of
H^0(ℝPⁿ¹; 𝔽₂) to the multiplicative unit of H^0(ℝPⁿ²; 𝔽₂).
Unfolding identity: the (k+1)-th cup power equals the cup product of the k-th
cup power with the generator x.
Naturality of the cup product: for f : X ⟶ Y, the diagram
(cup on Y) ∘ f* = f* ⊗ f* ∘ (cup on X) commutes.
Naturality of the cup product on mod-2 cohomology of real projective spaces:
f*(α ∪ β) = f* α ∪ f* β.
If a map f : ℝPⁿ² → ℝPⁿ¹ sends the degree-1 generator to the degree-1 generator,
then by naturality of cup products it sends every cup power xᵏ to xᵏ.
For every k, the pullback induced by an odd g : Sᵐ → Sᵐ⁻¹ sends the k-th cup
power xᵏ ∈ H^k(ℝPᵐ⁻¹; 𝔽₂) to xᵏ ∈ H^k(ℝPᵐ; 𝔽₂).
There is no continuous odd map Sⁿ⁺² → Sⁿ⁺¹. The proof uses the nonvanishing of
the top cup power xⁿ⁺² ∈ H^{n+2}(ℝPⁿ⁺²; 𝔽₂) together with the vanishing of
H^{n+2}(ℝPⁿ⁺¹; 𝔽₂). This is the key step in Borsuk–Ulam for dimensions ≥ 2.
Borsuk–Ulam in dimensions ≥ 2: every continuous map Sⁿ⁺² → ℝⁿ⁺² identifies some
pair of antipodal points, i.e. there exists x with f x = f (-x). Deduced from
no_odd_map_sphere by normalising f x - f (-x) to a hypothetical odd map to the
sphere.
The Borsuk–Ulam theorem (Theorem 38.11). Thinking of Sⁿ as the unit vectors in
ℝⁿ⁺¹, every continuous function f : Sⁿ → ℝⁿ admits a point x ∈ Sⁿ with
f x = f (-x). Proved by cases: n = 0 (sphere is two-point), n = 1 (intermediate
value theorem on the circle), n ≥ 2 (borsuk_ulam_ge2).
