In algebraic topology the cap product is a method of adjoining a chain of degree ''p'' with a cochain of degree ''q'', such that ''q'' ≤ ''p'', to form a composite chain of degree ''p'' − ''q''. It was introduced by Eduard Čech in 1936, and independently by Hassler Whitney in 1938. ==Definition== Let ''X'' be a topological space and ''R'' a coefficient ring. The cap product is a bilinear map on singular homology and cohomology : defined by contracting a singular chain with a singular cochain by the formula : : Here, the notation indicates the restriction of the simplicial map to its face spanned by the vectors of the base, see Simplex. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「cap product」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
