homology
general way of associating a sequence of algebraic objects to other mathematical objects
Hodge conjecture
conjecture in algebraic geometry that every Hodge class on a nonsingular complex projective manifold is a linear combination with rational coefficients of the cohomology classes of complex subvarieties
singular homology
homology of the chain complex of singular chains (integer linear combinations of maps from simplexes into a given topological space)
Mayer–Vietoris sequence
long exact sequence describing how the (co)homology of a space relates to that of two subspaces whose interiors cover the total space
Poincaré duality
duality that relates homology and cohomology groups for oriented closed manifolds
Hurewicz theorem
theorem that relates homotopy groups to homology groups
topological data analysis
analysis of datasets using techniques from topology
Chern–Simons form
secondary characteristic class defined for odd-dimensional manifolds with G-bundles with connection; in 2n−1 dimensions, defined as (formal) exterior antiderivative of tr(Fⁿ) where F is the curvature of the connection
Floer homology
symplectic topology tool
homology sphere
topological manifold whose homology coincides with that of a sphere, i.e. trivial except in the top and bottom degrees, where it has a single generator
cup product
method of adjoining two cocycles to form a composite cocycle
Eilenberg–Steenrod axioms
properties that homology theories of topological spaces have in common
persistent homology
method for computing topological features of a space at different spatial resolutions
Excision theorem
mathematical theorem
cap product
method of adjoining a chain of with a cochain
cohomology ring
Aspherical space
concept in topology
Kirby–Siebenmann class
Cohomology class of topological structures
