Singular homology #

In this file, we define the singular chain complex and singular homology of a topological space. We also calculate the homology of a totally disconnected space as an example.

The singular chain complex associated to a simplicial set, with coefficients in X : C. One can recover the ordinary singular chain complex when C := Ab and X := ℤ.

            If X is totally disconnected, its singular chain complex is given by R[X] ←0- R[X] ←𝟙- R[X] ←0- R[X] ⋯, where R[X] is the coproduct of copies of R indexed by elements of X.

              The zeroth singular homology of a totally disconnected space is the free R-module generated by elements of X.
