Oct. 26th, 2008 01:38 pmHey, how's it going? I'm trying to lower my stress levels. ^_^
The MATH 400 midterm is on Monday, so we don't have any homework to do this week, which is nice cause otherwise I would be doing it right now.
The statement "A ≅ C/B" can be expressed as an exact sequence like this.
ie, G is a subgroup of F (or more precisely, Im G is a subgroup of F) and A ≅ F/ker π = F/G.
Abelian groups all have free resolutions like this:
That's because every abelian group can be written as the quotient of a free abelian group with something (A ≅ F/G with G ⊂ F), and every subgroup of a free group is free (I don't think that I ever learned why that is, but I have just now thought of an argument via transfinite induction, so there).
The slow explanation of Tor continues!
