First a little lemma:

Let (C,d) be a chain complex with C_{n-1} projective, H_{n-1}(C) = 0 and \ker(d_{n-1}) \subseteq C_{n-1} a direct summand. Then also \ker(d_n) \subseteq C_n is a direct summand.

Proof: Note that \ker(d_n) \subseteq C_n is a direct summand iff the sequence

\displaystyle  0 \longrightarrow \ker(d_n) \longrightarrow C_n \stackrel{d_n}{\longrightarrow} \text{im}(d_n) \longrightarrow 0

splits. By exactness at n-1 however, we have \text{im}(d_n) =  \ker(d_{n-1}) which is projective, being a direct summand of a projective module.

ad(1): Iterating the lemma we find that \ker(d_n) is a direct summand of C_n if the same statement holds for some lower n. However, eventually both terms are zero, since the complex is finite. Being a direct summand in a finitely generated module \ker(d_n) is then itself finitely generated, and hence also H_n(C). The second assertion follows immediately from the universal coefficient theorem.

Before addressing (2) we will prove the following:

Proposition:

Under the assumptions of (2) there exist a chain map f:C\rightarrow C with f_m=0 for m\neq n and f_n the projection onto a direct summand V of C_n isomorphic to H_n and such that f is chain homotopy equivalent to the identity on C.

In (1) it was proved that \ker(d_n)\subseteq C_n is a direct summand. The chain complex C' defined as

\displaystyle C'_m:=\left\{\begin{matrix}C_m&\text{ if }m>n\\\ker(d_n)&\text{ if }n=m\\0&\text{ if }m<n\end{matrix}\right.,~~d'_n:=d_n|_{C_n'}

is again finitely generated and degreewise projective. The inclusion i':C'\rightarrow C induces an isomorphism on homology and since all occurring modules are projective is a chain homotopy equivalence. We can choose a projection p_n':C_n\rightarrow C_n' = \ker(d_n) with p_n'\circ i_n' the identity on C'_n. Now extend this to a chain map p' by identity maps on the one side and zero maps on the other and note that p' \circ i' = id_{C'}. Since i' is a chain homotopy equivalence this implies that p' is a chain homotopy inverse of i'.

By assumption H^j(C')=H^j(C)=0 for j>n and since C' is finitely generated and degreewise projective so is (C')^*. Thus as before \ker((d'_{n+1})^*)\subseteq (C'_n)^* is a direct summand. Hence for the chain complex C'' concentrated in degree n with C''_n:=\ker((d'_{n+1})^*), the inclusion i'': C'' \hookrightarrow (C')^* is a chain homotopy equivalence. We can again choose a projection p'':(C')^*\rightarrow C'' such that p'' is an inverse of i'' and p''\circ i'' is the identity on C''.

Putting this together we have chain homotopy equivalences i:=(i')^{**}\circ(p'')^*:(C'')^{*}\rightarrow C^{**} and p:=(i'')^{*}\circ(p')^{**}:C^{**}\rightarrow (C'')^* with p a chain homotopy inverse of i and p\circ i the identity on (C'')^*.

Since for m\neq n we have C''_m=0, also (i\circ p)_m=0 in dimensions \neq n and because p\circ i=\id_{(C'')^*} the map (i\circ p)_n is a projection onto a direct summand V of (C^{**})_n. Since i\circ p induces an isomorphism in homology V has to be isomorphic to H_n(C). Upon identification of C^{**} with C the proposition is proved.


ad(2):

Choose a chain homotopy T between the chain map f from the propsition above and the identity on C. We can choose T such that T^2=0. Now for (T+d)_{even}:\bigoplus_{i\in\Zz}C_{n+2i}\rightarrow \bigoplus_{i\in\Zz}C_{n+2i+1} and (T+d)_{odd}:\bigoplus_{i\in\Zz}C_{n+2i+1}\rightarrow \bigoplus_{i\in\Zz}C_{n+2i} the composition (T+d)_{even}\circ(T+d)_{odd} is the identity on \bigoplus_{i\in\Zz}C_{n+2i+1} because f_{n+2i+1}=0 for all i\in\Zz. And the composition (T+d)_{odd}\circ(T+d)_{even} is the identity on C_{n+2i} for i\neq 0 and the projection onto a complement of V in degree n. Let p:C_n\rightarrow V be the projection given by f and g:V\rightarrow H_n(C) an isomorphism then the map
\displaystyle ((T+d)_{even},g\circ p):\bigoplus_{i\in\Zz}C_{n+2i}\rightarrow \bigoplus_{i\in\Zz}C_{n+2i+1}\oplus H_n(C)

is an isomorphism. Dualizing gives the statement for cohomology.
