Talk:Poincaré duality II (Ex)
From Manifold Atlas
- Note: There is a sign error in this solution to be fixed!! Give the triangulation with -simplices and -simplices . Let us choose the fundamental class
The diagonal approximation maps to
Thus the diagonal approximation of the fundamental class is
Capping with the fundamental class sends to
Similarly, sends
Thus we obtain the chain equivalence
Where
Note: this doesn't quite work - this is not a chain map, composing one way gives minus the composition the other way. Fixing the sign error we can take the inverse permutation matrices as the chain inverse.
