Singular homology as a homology pretheory #

This file packages relative singular homology with coefficients in an object R of an abelian category as a TopPair.HomologyPretheory indexed by ComplexShape.down ℕ: the relative homology functors are TopPair.singularHomologyFunctor R n, the absolute ones are Mathlib's singular homology functors, the two are compared on pairs (X, ∅) by TopPair.singularHomologyInclIso, and the boundary morphisms are the connecting morphisms Hₙ(X, A) ⟶ Hₘ(A) (for m + 1 = n) of the long exact sequence of a pair, which are natural in the pair.

The pretheory satisfies the homotopy axiom HomologyPretheory.IsHomotopyInvariant, because homotopic maps of pairs induce chain-homotopic maps of relative singular chains; the exactness axiom HomologyPretheory.HasPairSequence, by the long exact sequence of a pair; and the dimension axiom HomologyPretheory.HasDimensionAxiom, because the singular homology of a point vanishes in positive degrees. When coproducts are exact in the coefficient category (axiom AB4, as for modules over a ring), it also satisfies the additivity axiom HomologyPretheory.IsAdditive, because singular homology of a disjoint union is the coproduct of the singular homologies of the summands.

The connecting morphism Hₙ(X, A) ⟶ Hₘ(A) of the long exact sequence of a topological pair, for m + 1 = n, as a natural transformation from relative singular homology to the singular homology of the subspace.

    Relative singular homology with coefficients in R as a homology pretheory: relative singular homology of pairs, singular homology of spaces, their comparison on pairs (X, ∅), and the connecting morphisms Hₙ(X, A) ⟶ Hₘ(A) for m + 1 = n.

      The map from the singular homology of the ambient space of a pair to the relative singular homology of the pair is the map induced by the quotient from ambient to relative chains.

      Singular homology satisfies the homotopy axiom: homotopic maps of topological pairs induce the same map on relative singular homology.

      Singular homology satisfies the additivity axiom when coproducts are exact in the coefficient category: the singular homology of a disjoint union is the coproduct of the singular homologies of the summands.

      Singular homology satisfies the exactness axiom: the long exact sequence of every topological pair.

      Singular homology satisfies the dimension axiom: the singular homology of a point vanishes in positive degrees.
