Homology classes

H2i X) is the free abelian group generated by the homology classes of the closures of the i-dimensional cells. 

This chapter is continuation of the previous chapter. We shall study the operator PpiM associated with an embedded curve E in X. There are also distinguished homology classes [L E] in //h<(A N) (n = iy ) introduced in Chapter 7. The operator P[s][ ] preserves these classes. We shall give the precise formulas for the action. We shall find they are exactly the same as relations in symmetric functions when we replace P[s][ ] by the power sump, [L E] by the orbit sum rrij,.

Physical and Chemical Properties. The physical and chemical properties of 2,3,7,8-TCDD are sufficiently characterized to predict the environmental fate of 2,3,7,8-TCDD (IARC 1977 Sax and Lewis 1987 Schroy et al. 1985 Shiu et al. 1988). Of all the CDDs, 2,3,7,8-TCDD has been the compound most studied. Not all isomers within each homologous class have been equally well studied for many of the physical and chemical properties. Information on physical and chemical properties of certain congeners (particularly 1,2,3,7,8,-PeCDD and 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDDs) would be helpful in better understanding the different fate and transport pathways of the homologous groups. 

If c IP is a bounding cycle, and if we take C2P = 0, the zero cycle, then the difference C1P-C2P = C P is, evidently, a bounding cycle. By defining cP 0 for every bounding cycle, homology is an equivalence relation within set CP of p-chains. For the equivalence classes, homology classes [cP], addition is defined as... 

This quantification technique was tested on a commercial mixture of known composition, Aroclor 1242. The weight percentages of each homolog class In the Aroclor were determined and compared to approximate values provided by the manufacturer (Table I). Agreement between the determined and manufacturer s values was considered sufficient for this study. 

The error obtained with this evaluation method is due mainly to the fact that the total retention time of the individual components depends linearly on the peak height only approximately. The amount of the component in the sample is often judged as too small for thin peaks and too high for wide peaks. The linear dependence is well suitable for homologous classes of compounds in the sample mixture analyzed.

A quick analysis will show that the answer to these questions is negative. The reason is that we may have an element c G such that there exists an element b G Bn+i satisf3ung db = c, in particular dc = 0, but there is no a G An+ satisfying da = c. In other words, the homology class [c] is trivial in H. B), but not in H A).
