Find an example of K, A, B, and I to show $beta_ineq beta_i(A)+beta_i(B)-beta_i(Acap B)$












0














I’ve been trying to find a simplicial complex $K$, where $A$ and $B$ are subcomplexes, and $K=Acup B$ to show that the Betti number



$beta_i(K)neq beta_i(A)+beta_i(B)-beta_i(Acap B)$



but every complex I come up with contradicts this for $i=0$, what would be a good example for this?

  • What is "= / ="? Do you mean "not equal"? Use "neq" in MathJax to get "$neq$"

  • Look at the Mayer--Vietoris sequence, this will give you the precise relation between these numbers.

Here's an example (for $i=0$) where $beta_0(K)neqbeta_0(A)+beta_0(B)-beta_0(Acap B)$. Let simplicial complex $K$ be the boundary of a triangle, with three vertices $[0]$, $[1]$, $[2]$, and three edges $[0,1]$, $[1,2]$, $[2,0]$. Let subcomplex $A$ be the union of two edges, containing all three vertices $[0]$, $[1]$, $[2]$, and only two edges $[0,1]$, $[1,2]$. Let subcomplex $B$ be the third remaining edge, containing vertices $[0]$, $[2]$ and only one edge $[2,0]$. We have $K=Acup B$.



Note that $K$, $A$, and $B$ are each connected, giving $beta_0(K)=beta_0(A)=beta_0(B)=1$. However, $Acap B$ consists of two connected components (two vertices $[0]$ and $[2]$), giving $beta_0(Acap B)=2$. So we have
$$beta_0(K)=1neq 0=1+1-2=beta_0(A)+beta_0(B)-beta_0(Acap B),$$
as desired. Note in this example that $beta_1(K)=1$ is nonzero, agreeing with the Mayer-Vietoris long exact sequence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayer%E2%80%93Vietoris_sequence).
