A cellular cosheaf is a contravariant functor from the face poset of a CW complex to the category of abelian groups. We show that given a cellular cosheaf $F$, there is a natural way to associate a cosheaf $\\widehat{F}$, for which we can define homology as the formal dual of sheaf cohomology, such that the Borel-Moore homology of $F$ is isomorphic to the homology of $\\widehat{F}$ whenever the underlying CW complex of $F$ is a simplicial complex.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-02-08T05:28:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55N30", "18F20" ], "keywords": [ "cellular cosheaf homology", "cw complex", "formal dual", "sheaf cohomology", "dual notion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
