On the Čech and axiomatic cohomology of product spaces
We show that the first homology group of a locally connected compact metric space is either uncountable or finitely generated. This is related to Shelah's well-known result (1988) which shows that the fundamental group of such a space satisfies a similar condition. We give an example of such a space whose fundamental group is uncountable but whose first homology is trivial, showing that our result does not follow from Shelah's. We clarify a claim made by Pawlikowski (1998) and offer a proof of the...
We associate to a given polynomial map from to itself with nonvanishing Jacobian a variety whose homology or intersection homology describes the geometry of singularities at infinity of this map.
We calculate the singular homology and Čech cohomology groups of the Harmonic Archipelago. As a corollary, we prove that this space is not homotopy equivalent to the Griffiths space. This is interesting in view of Eda’s proof that the first singular homology groups of these spaces are isomorphic.
In this short note we compute the Chas-Sullivan BV-algebra structure on the singular homology of the free loop space of complex projective spaces. We compare this result with computations in Hochschild cohomology.
