Coproducts and the additivity of the Szymczak index

Kinga Stolot (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We prove that the index defined by Szymczak in [9] has an additivity property. Moreover we give an abstract theorem for extending coproducts from an initial category to the Szymczak category, which provides a setting for the proof of additivity.

A 2-category of chronological cobordisms and odd Khovanov homology

Krzysztof K. Putyra (2014)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We create a framework for odd Khovanov homology in the spirit of Bar-Natan's construction for the ordinary Khovanov homology. Namely, we express the cube of resolutions of a link diagram as a diagram in a certain 2-category of chronological cobordisms and show that it is 2-commutative: the composition of 2-morphisms along any 3-dimensional subcube is trivial. This allows us to create a chain complex whose homotopy type modulo certain relations is a link invariant. Both the original and...

Topos based homology theory

M. V. Mielke (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this paper we extend the Eilenberg-Steenrod axiomatic description of a homology theory from the category of topological spaces to an arbitrary category and, in particular, to a topos. Implicit in this extension is an extension of the notions of homotopy and excision. A general discussion of such homotopy and excision structures on a category is given along with several examples including the interval based homotopies and, for toposes, the excisions represented by “cutting out” subobjects....
