The relative homology of a cylinder modulo its ends #

For a topological space X, the cylinder pair (X × I, X × ∂I), where ∂I = {0, 1}, has relative singular homology Hₙ₊₁(X × I, X × ∂I) ≅ Hₙ(X), naturally in X, and H₀(X × I, X × ∂I) = 0. Coefficients are an object of an abelian category with coproducts.

The isomorphism comes from the triple (X × I, X × ∂I, X × {0}). The bottom end X × {0} is a strong deformation retract of the cylinder, so the relative homology of (X × I, X × {0}) vanishes and the connecting morphism Hₙ₊₁(X × I, X × ∂I) ⟶ Hₙ(X × ∂I, X × {0}) of the triple is an isomorphism. Excising the bottom end, the top end x ↦ (x, 1) induces an isomorphism Hₙ(X) ⟶ Hₙ(X × ∂I, X × {0}).

The isomorphism is characterized by the connecting morphism of the pair: under Hₙ₊₁(X × I, X × ∂I) ≅ Hₙ(X), the connecting morphism Hₙ₊₁(X × I, X × ∂I) ⟶ Hₙ(X × ∂I) is the difference ι₁ - ι₀ of the maps induced by the two ends (TauCeti.singularHomologyδ_cylinderBoundaryPair). This is the form in which the computation enters the homology of spaces obtained by gluing the two ends of a cylinder, such as mapping tori: after the gluing, ι₁ - ι₀ becomes f_* - id for the gluing map f.

    The cylinder pair (X × I, X × ∂I).

    Instances For

      The inclusion x ↦ (x, 0) of X as the bottom end of the cylinder.

      Instances For

        The inclusion x ↦ (x, 1) of X as the top end of the cylinder.

        Instances For

          The map of cylinder pairs (X × I, X × ∂I) ⟶ (Y × I, Y × ∂I) induced by g : X ⟶ Y.

          Instances For

            The relative homology H₀(X × I, X × ∂I) vanishes: every point of the cylinder is joined to its ends by a path.

            The homology of a cylinder modulo its ends: Hₙ₊₁(X × I, X × ∂I) ≅ Hₙ(X). It is the connecting morphism of the triple (X × I, X × ∂I, X × {0}) followed by the inverse of the map Hₙ(X) ⟶ Hₙ(X × ∂I, X × {0}) induced by the top end.

            Instances For

              The connecting morphism of the cylinder pair. Under Hₙ₊₁(X × I, X × ∂I) ≅ Hₙ(X), the connecting morphism to Hₙ(X × ∂I) is the difference of the maps induced by the top and bottom ends.
