Transgression in spectral sequences
An operation in spectral sequences that facilitates the computation of cohomology groups in fibration and allows detection of extension problems in cohomology.
Lefschetz Duality
A duality theorem between the cohomology of a space and the homology of its complement, providing a powerful tool in the study of manifolds and their embeddings.
Cup Product
A bilinear operation on cohomology groups, usually denoted by , turning the cohomology ring into a graded algebra, which provides insight into the intersection patterns of subspaces in algebraic topology.
Cap Product
A product that pairs a cohomology class with a homology class to produce a homology class of lower dimension, providing a bridge between homology and cohomology theories.
Pontryagin Product
A product operation on the homology groups of a space with a loop space structure that provides insight into loop structures and their geometric properties.
Bockstein Homomorphism
Associated with a short exact sequence of coefficient groups, it provides a way to relate different cohomology groups and detect the torsion in cohomology.
Massey Products
A higher-order cohomology operation generalizing the cup product that can obstruct the formality of a space and indicate the complexity of its cohomology ring structure.
Steenrod Squares
Operations defined on the mod 2 cohomology of a topological space that reflect the structure of fiber bundles and can be used to classify manifolds.
