Homological algebra

Mapping cone (homological algebra)

In homological algebra, the mapping cone is a construction on a map of chain complexes inspired by the analogous construction in topology. In the theory of triangulated categories it is a kind of combined kernel and cokernel: if the chain complexes take their terms in an abelian category, so that we can talk about cohomology, then the cone of a map f being acyclic means that the map is a quasi-isomorphism; if we pass to the derived category of complexes, this means that f is an isomorphism there, which recalls the familiar property of maps of groups, modules over a ring, or elements of an arbitrary abelian category that if the kernel and cokernel both vanish, then the map is an isomorphism. If we are working in a t-category, then in fact the cone furnishes both the kernel and cokernel of maps between objects of its core. (Wikipedia).

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video we add some more definition to our toolbox before we go any further in our study into group theory and abstract algebra. The definition at hand is the homomorphism. A homomorphism is a function that maps the elements for one group to another whilst maintaining their structu

Computing homology groups | Algebraic Topology | NJ Wildberger

The definition of the homology groups H_n(X) of a space X, say a simplicial complex, is quite abstract: we consider the complex of abelian groups generated by vertices, edges, 2-dim faces etc, then define boundary maps between them, then take the quotient of kernels mod boundaries at each

Isomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video I take a look at an example of a homomorphism that is both onto and one-to-one, i.e both surjective and injection, which makes it a bijection. Such a homomorphism is termed an isomorphism. Through the example, I review the construction of Cayley's tables for integers mod 4

Kernel of a group homomorphism

In this video I introduce the definition of a kernel of a group homomorphism. It is simply the set of all elements in a group that map to the identity element in a second group under the homomorphism. The video also contain the proofs to show that the kernel is a normal subgroup.

BM8.3. Mappings 3: Composition and Inverse Mappings

Basic Methods: We define composition of mappings and draw parallels to multiplication of real numbers. Items include associativity, identity, and commutativity. Consideration of multiplicative inverses leads to the definition of an inverse mapping, and we give conditions for its existenc

05 Products sets and mappings

In this tutorial I cross the bridge between a standard algebraic function and products sets, as well as mappings. I show the three types of mappings, namely injective (one-to-one), surjective (onto), and their combination, a bijection.

EDIT: At 8:35, should use q instead of pi. Abstract Algebra: We define homomorphism between groups and draw connections to normal subgroups and quotient groups. Precisely the kernel of a homomorphism is a normal subgroup, and we can associate a surjective homomorphism to every normal

The Kernel of a Group Homomorphism – Abstract Algebra

The kernel of a group homomorphism measures how far off it is from being one-to-one (an injection). Suppose you have a group homomorphism f:G → H. The kernel is the set of all elements in G which map to the identity element in H. It is a subgroup in G and it depends on f. Different ho
