What is the definition of a singular homology group?

  1. The group of all continuous maps from a simplicial complex to the integers.

  2. The group of all continuous maps from a simplicial complex to the circle.

  3. The group of all continuous maps from a simplicial complex to the sphere.

  4. The group of all continuous maps from a simplicial complex to the torus.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The singular homology group of a simplicial complex is the group of all continuous maps from the simplicial complex to the integers.

What is the relationship between singular homology and simplicial homology?

  1. Singular homology is a generalization of simplicial homology.

  2. Simplicial homology is a generalization of singular homology.

  3. Singular homology and simplicial homology are equivalent.

  4. Singular homology and simplicial homology are unrelated.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Singular homology is a generalization of simplicial homology in the sense that every simplicial complex can be embedded in a singular complex, and the singular homology groups of the simplicial complex are isomorphic to the singular homology groups of the singular complex.
