TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.Cellular.Zero

Degree zero of the cellular chain complex #

For an absolute CW complex, the first two stages of the skeletal filtration are the empty space and the space of its zero-cells. Thus its degree-zero cellular group is the ordinary zeroth singular homology of the zero-skeleton. The characteristic points of the zero-cells give a bijection with this skeleton.

The comparison uses the natural quotient map from ordinary to relative singular homology. These identifications are the degree-zero starting point for identifying cellular groups with free modules on cells.

The mathematical source is Hatcher, Algebraic Topology, Section 2.2. The degree-zero homology calculation for totally disconnected spaces is Andrew Yang's AlgebraicTopology.singularHomologyFunctorZeroOfTotallyDisconnectedSpace in Mathlib.

The degree-zero skeletal pair is isomorphic to the zero-skeleton modulo the empty space.

    The degree-zero cellular group is the ordinary zeroth singular homology of the zero-skeleton. The forward map is induced by the quotient from absolute to relative chains.

        The inverse degree-zero identification sends the generator of a zero-cell to the homology class of its characteristic point in the zero-skeleton, then to the skeletal pair. The middle inverse is Mathlib's identification of zeroth homology of a discrete space with its point basis.
