CohomologyRing
¶ The cohomology ring.
Note
This is not intended to be created directly by the user, but instead via the
cohomology ring
of acell complex
.INPUT:
base_ring
– must be a fieldcell_complex
– the cell complex whose homology we are computing
EXAMPLES:
sage: CP2 = simplicial_complexes.ComplexProjectivePlane() sage: H = CP2.cohomology_ring(QQ) sage: H.basis(2) Finite family {(2, 0): h^{2,0}} sage: x = H.basis(2)[2,0]
The product structure is the cup product:
sage: x.cup_product(x) -h^{4,0} sage: x * x -h^{4,0}
There are mod 2 cohomology operations defined, also, for simplicial complexes and simplicial sets:
sage: Hmod2 = CP2.cohomology_ring(GF(2)) sage: y = Hmod2.basis(2)[2,0] sage: y.Sq(2) h^{4,0} sage: Y = simplicial_sets.RealProjectiveSpace(6).suspension() sage: H_Y = Y.cohomology_ring(GF(2)) sage: b = H_Y.basis()[2,0] sage: b.Sq(1) h^{3,0} sage: b.Sq(2) 0 sage: c = H_Y.basis()[4,0] sage: c.Sq(1) h^{5,0} sage: c.Sq(2) h^{6,0} sage: c.Sq(3) h^{7,0} sage: c.Sq(4) 0

HomologyVectorSpaceWithBasis
¶ Homology (or cohomology) vector space.
This provides enough structure to allow the computation of cup products and cohomology operations. See the class
CohomologyRing
(which derives from this) for examples.It also requires field coefficients (hence the “VectorSpace” in the name of the class).
Note
This is not intended to be created directly by the user, but instead via the methods
homology_with_basis()
andcohomology_ring()
for the class ofcell complexes
.INPUT:
base_ring
– must be a fieldcell_complex
– the cell complex whose homology we are computingcohomology
– (default:False
) ifTrue
, return the cohomology as a modulecategory
– (optional) a subcategory of modules with basis
EXAMPLES:
Homology classes are denoted by
h_{d,i}
whered
is the degree of the homology class andi
is their index in the list of basis elements in that degree. Cohomology classes are denotedh^{1,0}

To access a basis element, use its degree and index (0 or 1 in the 1st cohomology group of a torus):
sage: H = simplicial_complexes.Torus().cohomology_ring(QQ) sage: H.basis(1) Finite family {(1, 0): h^{1,0}, (1, 1): h^{1,1}} sage: x = H.basis()[1,0]; x h^{1,0} sage: y = H.basis()[1,1]; y h^{1,1} sage: 2*x-3*y 2*h^{1,0} - 3*h^{1,1}
You can compute cup products of cohomology classes:
sage: x.cup_product(y) -h^{2,0} sage: y.cup_product(x) h^{2,0} sage: x.cup_product(x) 0
This works with simplicial, cubical, and \(\Delta\)-complexes, and also simplicial sets:
sage: Klein_c = cubical_complexes.KleinBottle() sage: H = Klein_c.cohomology_ring(GF(2)) sage: x,y = H.basis(1) sage: x.cup_product(x) 0 sage: x.cup_product(y) h^{2,0} sage: y.cup_product(y) h^{2,0} sage: Klein_d = delta_complexes.KleinBottle() sage: H = Klein_d.cohomology_ring(GF(2)) sage: u,v = H.basis(1) sage: u.cup_product(u) h^{2,0} sage: u.cup_product(v) 0 sage: v.cup_product(v) h^{2,0}
An isomorphism between the rings for the cubical model and the \(\Delta\)-complex model can be obtained by sending \(x\) to \(u+v\), \(y\) to \(v\).
sage: X = simplicial_sets.RealProjectiveSpace(6) sage: H_X = X.cohomology_ring(GF(2)) sage: a = H_X.basis()[1,0] sage: a**6 h^{6,0} sage: a**7 0
All products of positive-dimensional elements in a suspension should be zero:
sage: Y = X.suspension() sage: H_Y = Y.cohomology_ring(GF(2)) sage: b = H_Y.basis()[2,0] sage: b**2 0 sage: B = sorted(H_Y.basis())[1:] sage: B [h^{2,0}, h^{3,0}, h^{4,0}, h^{5,0}, h^{6,0}, h^{7,0}] sage: import itertools sage: [a*b for (a,b) in itertools.combinations(B, 2)] [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
The basis elements in the simplicial complex case have been chosen differently; apply the change of basis \(x \mapsto a + b\), \(y \mapsto b\) to see the same product structure.
sage: Klein_s = simplicial_complexes.KleinBottle() sage: H = Klein_s.cohomology_ring(GF(2)) sage: a,b = H.basis(1) sage: a.cup_product(a) 0 sage: a.cup_product(b) h^{2,0} sage: (a+b).cup_product(a+b) h^{2,0} sage: b.cup_product(b) h^{2,0}

sum_indices
(k, i_k_plus_one, S_k_plus_one)¶ This is a recursive function for computing the indices for the nested sums in González-Díaz and Réal [GDR1999], Corollary 3.2.
In the paper, given indices \(i_n\), \(i_{n-1}\), …, \(i_{k+1}\), given \(k\), and given \(S(k+1)\), the number \(S(k)\) is defined to be
\[S(k) = -S(k+1) + floor(k/2) + floor((k+1)/2) + i_{k+1},\]and \(i_k\) ranges from \(S(k)\) to \(i_{k+1}-1\). There are two special cases: if \(k=0\), then \(i_0 = S(0)\). Also, the initial case of \(S(k)\) is \(S(n)\), which is set in the method
Sq()
before calling this function. For this function, given \(k\), \(i_{k+1}\), and \(S(k+1)\), return a list consisting of the allowable possible indices \([i_k, i_{k-1}, ..., i_1, i_0]\) given by the above formula.INPUT:
k
– non-negative integeri_k_plus_one
– the positive integer \(i_{k+1}\)S_k_plus_one
– the integer \(S(k+1)\)
