In this paper we define the Alexander-Spanier normal cohomology theory based on all normal coverings and show that it is isomorphic to the Alexandroff-\\v{C}ech normal cohomology. Using this fact and methods developed in [Ber-Mdz$_3$] we construct an exact, the so called, Alexander-Spanier normal homology theory on the category $\\mathcal{K}^2_{Top},$ which is isomorphic to the Steenrod homology theory on the subcategory of compact pairs $\\mathcal{K}^2_{C}.$ Moreover, we give an axiomatic characterization of the constructed homology theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-02-09T14:51:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55N07", "55N05" ], "keywords": [ "alexander-spanier normal homology theory", "general topological spaces", "axiomatic characterization", "alexander-spanier normal cohomology theory", "steenrod homology theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
