Natural homology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We propose a notion of homology for directed algebraic topology, based on so-called natural systems of abelian groups, and which we call natural homology. As we show, natural homology has many desirable properties: it is invariant under isomorphisms of directed spaces, it is invariant under refinement (subdivision), and it is computable on cubical complexes.
