If this category of sheaves can be shown to be equivalent to a category of comodules of a Hopf algebroid, then we obtain a new homology theory by composing with the underlying module functor. This new homology theory is always flat and we call it a flat replacement of the original theory. For example, Pstr\\k{a}gowski has shown that complex cobordism is a flat replacement of singular homology. In this article we study the basic properties of the sites associated to homology theories and we prove an existence theorem for flat replacements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-24T14:23:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55N20", "18G80", "18M05" ], "keywords": [ "homology theory", "flat replacement", "complex cobordism", "existence theorem", "original theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
