Question:
Mark each of the following true or false.
___a. Every homology group of a contractible space is the trivial group of one element.
___b. A continuous map from a simplicial complex X into a simplicial complex Y induces a homomorphism of Hn(X) into Hn(Y).
___ c. All homology groups are abelian.
___ d. All homology groups are free abelian.
___ e. All 0-dimensional homology groups are free abelian.
___ f. If a space X has n-simplexes but none of dimension greater than n and Hn(X) ≠ 0, then Hn(X) is free abelian.
___ g. The boundary of an n-chain is an (n - 1)-chain.
___ h. The boundary of an n-chain is an (n - 1)-cycle.
___ i. Then-boundaries form a subgroup of the n-cycles.
___ j. The n-dimensional homology group of a simplicial complex is always a subgroup of the group of n-chains.
