Relative singular cohomology and the long exact sequence of a pair #
The relative singular cochain complex of a topological pair (X, A) is obtained by applying the
contravariant functor Hom(-, M) to its relative singular chain complex C(X, A). In each degree
the short exact sequence of chain complexes 0 ⟶ C(A) ⟶ C(X) ⟶ C(X, A) ⟶ 0 splits, since the
singular simplices of A form a subset of those of X. Applying Hom(-, M) therefore gives a
short exact sequence of cochain complexes
0 ⟶ C*(X, A) ⟶ C*(X) ⟶ C*(A) ⟶ 0,
whose long exact cohomology sequence is the long exact sequence of the pair
⋯ ⟶ Hⁿ(X, A) ⟶ Hⁿ(X) ⟶ Hⁿ(A) ⟶ Hⁿ⁺¹(X, A) ⟶ ⋯.
A map of pairs (X, A) ⟶ (Y, B) induces maps from the relative cochains and cohomology of
(Y, B) to those of (X, A), and the connecting morphism is natural for these maps.
