Steenrod coalgebras of simplicial complexes

Justin R. Smith

Published 2014-02-13, updated 2015-03-07Version 14

In this paper, we extend earlier work by showing that if $X$ and $Y$ are simplicial complexes (i.e. simplicial sets whose simplices are determined by their vertices), a morphism $g:N(X)\to N(Y)$ of Steenrod coalgebras (normalized chain-complexes equipped with extra structure) induces one of their topological realizations $\hat{g}:|X|\to |Y|$. If $g$ is an isomorphism, then it induces an isomorphism between $X$ and $Y$, implying that they are homeomorphic.
