# Math4202 Topology II Exam 1 Review

## Few important definitions
### Quotient spaces
Let $X$ be a topological space and $f:X\to Y$ is a
1. continuous
2. surjective map.
3. With the property that $U\subset Y$ is open if and only if $f^{-1}(U)$ is open in $X$.
Then we say $f$ is a quotient map and $Y$ is a quotient space.
#### Theorem of quotient space
Let $p:X\to Y$ be a quotient map, let $Z$ be a space and $g:X\to Z$ be a map that is constant on each set $p^{-1}(y)$ for each $y\in Y$.
Then $g$ induces a map $f: X\to Z$ such that $f\circ p=g$.
The map $f$ is continuous if and only if $g$ is continuous; $f$ is a quotient map if and only if $g$ is a quotient map.
### CW complex
Let $X_0$ be arbitrary set of points.
Then we can create $X_1$ by
$$
X_1=\{(e_\alpha^1,\varphi_\alpha)|\varphi_\alpha: \partial e_\alpha^1\to X_0\}
$$
where $\varphi$ is a continuous map, and $e_\alpha^1$ is a $1$-cell (interval).
$$
X_2=\{(e_\alpha^2,\varphi_\alpha)|\varphi_\alpha: \partial e_\alpha^2\to X_1\}=(\sqcup_{\alpha\in A}e_\alpha^2)\sqcup X_1
$$
and $e_\alpha^2$ is a $2$-cell (disk). (mapping boundary of disk to arc (like a croissant shape, if you try to preserve the area))
The higher dimensional folding cannot be visualized in 3D space.
$$
X_n=\{(e_\alpha^n,\varphi_\alpha)|\varphi_\alpha: \partial e_\alpha^n\to X_{n-1}\}=(\sqcup_{\alpha\in A}e_\alpha^n)\sqcup X_{n-1}
$$

<summary>Example of CW complex construction</summary>
$X_0=a$
$X_1=$ circle, with end point and start point at $a$
$X_2=$ sphere (shell only), with boundary shrinking at the circle create by $X_1$
---
$X_0=a$
$X_1=a$
$X_2=$ ballon shape with boundary of circle collapsing at $a$

## Algebraic topology
### Manifold
#### Definition of Manifold
An $m$-dimensional **manifold** is a topological space $X$ that is
1. Hausdorff
2. With a countable basis
3. Each point of $x$ of $X$ has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^m$. (local euclidean)
#### Whitney's Embedding Theorem
If $X$ is a compact $m$-manifold, then $X$ can be imbedded in $\mathbb{R}^N$ for some positive integer $N$.
_In general, $X$ is not required to be compact. And $N$ is not too big. For non compact $X$, $N\leq 2m+1$ and for compact $X$, $N\leq 2m$._
#### Definition for partition of unity
Let $\{U_i\}_{i=1}^n$ be a finite open cover of topological space $X$. An indexed family of **continuous** function $\phi_i:X\to[0,1]$ for $i=1,...,n$ is said to be a **partition of unity** dominated by $\{U_i\}_{i=1}^n$ if
1. $\operatorname{supp}(\phi_i)=\overline{\{x\in X: \phi_i(x)\neq 0\}}\subseteq U_i$ (the closure of points where $\phi_i(x)\neq 0$ is in $U_i$) for all $i=1,...,n$
2. $\sum_{i=1}^n \phi_i(x)=1$ for all $x\in X$ (partition of function to $1$)
#### Existence of finite partition of unity
Let $\{U_i\}_{i=1}^n$ be a finite open cover of a normal space $X$ (Every pair of closed sets in $X$ can be separated by two open sets in $X$).
Then there exists a partition of unity dominated by $\{U_i\}_{i=1}^n$.
### Homotopy
#### Definition of null homology
If $f:X\to Y$ is homotopy to a constant map. $f$ is called null homotopy.
#### Definition of path homotopy
Let $f,f':I\to X$ be a continuous maps from an interval $I=[0,1]$ to a topological space $X$.
Two pathes $f$ and $f'$ are path homotopic if
- there exists a continuous map $F:I\times [0,1]\to X$ such that $F(i,0)=f(i)$ and $F(i,1)=f'(i)$ for all $i\in I$.
- $F(s,0)=f(0)$ and $F(s,1)=f(1)$, $\forall s\in I$.
#### Lemma: Homotopy defines an equivalence relation
The $\simeq$, $\simeq_p$ are both equivalence relations.
#### Definition for product of paths
Given $f$ a path in $X$ from $x_0$ to $x_1$ and $g$ a path in $X$ from $x_1$ to $x_2$.
Define the product $f*g$ of $f$ and $g$ to be the map $h:[0,1]\to X$.
#### Definition for equivalent classes of paths
$\Pi_1(X,x)$ is the equivalent classes of paths starting and ending at $x$.
On $\Pi_1(X,x)$,, we define $\forall [f],[g],[f]*[g]=[f*g]$.
$$
[f]\coloneqq \{f_i:[0,1]\to X|f_0(0)=f(0),f_i(1)=f(1)\}
$$
#### Theorem for properties of product of paths
1. If $f\simeq_p f_1, g\simeq_p g_1$, then $f*g\simeq_p f_1*g_1$. (Product is well-defined)
2. $([f]*[g])*[h]=[f]*([g]*[h])$. (Associativity)
3. Let $e_{x_0}$ be the constant path from $x_0$ to $x_0$, $e_{x_1}$ be the constant path from $x_1$ to $x_1$. Suppose $f$ is a path from $x_0$ to $x_1$.
$$
[e_{x_0}]*[f]=[f],\quad [f]*[e_{x_1}]=[f]
$$
(Right and left identity)
4. Given $f$ in $X$ a path from $x_0$ to $x_1$, we define $\bar{f}$ to be the path from $x_1$ to $x_0$ where $\bar{f}(t)=f(1-t)$.
$$
f*\bar{f}=e_{x_0},\quad \bar{f}*f=e_{x_1}
$$
$$
[f]*[\bar{f}]=[e_{x_0}],\quad [\bar{f}]*[f]=[e_{x_1}]
$$
