    • As the name suggests, the central aim of algebraic topology is the usage of algebraic tools to study topological spaces. A common technique is to probe topological spaces via maps to them from simple… See more

    Induced maps

    We’ve defined homology groups for each space, but haven’t yet considered what happens to maps between spaces. A continuous map f : X ! Y induces a map f : Sinn(X) ! Si… See more

  1. The torus is an excellent example of a product manifold because it can be expressed as the Cartesian product of two circles, $$S^1 times S^1$$. This representation highlights its topological structure as it combines two one-dimensional circles to form a two-dimensional surface.
