Abstract

Let X be a topological space and G an abelian group. There are many different definitions for the cohomology group H n (X; G); we will single out three of them for discussion here. First of all, we have the singular cohomology groups H n sing (X; G), which are defined to be cohomology of a chain complex of G-valued singular cochains on X. An alternative is to regard H n (•, G) as a representable functor on the homotopy category
