Hatcher

  • Δn:={(t0,,tn)Rn+1 | ni=0ti=1i{0,,n}N[ti0]}
    • Standard n-simplex stuff, nothing special here.
  • σα:Δn(α)X are maps that take the simplex into the topological space (X,J). Presumably these maps are continuous

Δ-complex

A collection {σα}αI that "cover" X in the sense that:

  • xXαI[xσα|(Δn)((Δn))] (modified from point 1 in hatcher, see point 4 below)

such that the following 3 properties hold:

  1. αI[σα|(Δn):(Δn)X is injective][Note 1]
    • Where σα|(Δn):(Δn)X is the restriction of σα:ΔnX to the interior of Δn (considered as a subset of Rn+1)
  2. For each αI there exists a βI such that the restriction of σα:Δn(α)X to a face of Δn(α) is σβ:Δn(α)1=n(β)X
    • This lets us identify each face of Δn(α) with Δn(α)1=n(β) by the canonical linear isomorphism between them that preserves the ordering of the vertices
      • This actually isn't to bad, as the restriction of σα:ΔnX to a face is equal to (as a map) some σβ, so the linear map ... Caveat:there's a proof needed here
  3. UP(X)[UJαI[σ1α(U) open in Rn(α)+1] where we consider Rn(α)+1 with its usual topology (induced by the Euclidean metric)
  4. xXαI[xσα|(Δn(α))((Δn(α)))βI[αβxσβ|(Δn(β))((Δn(β)))]]
    • In words: every point of x occurs in exactly one of the (restrictions to the interior)'s images - we consider the interior as Δn being a subset of Rn+1 with the usual Euclidean topology
    • TODO: What about the points - the 0-simplicies - these have empty interior considered as subsets of R1
      - we probably just alter the definition a little to account for this.

Notes

  1. Jump up Hatcher combines points one and four into one
