Abstract

In the basic combinatorial topology of simplicial complexes, it has been proven that the ordered homology functor is naturally isomorphic to the oriented homology functor. In this thesis we generalize this result substantially. We prove that there is a natural isomorphism from the ordered homology to the oriented homology of the singular set functor associated to a well-behaved simplicial-type object in a category subject to some mild restrictions. While the author's literature review did not turn up this result, he makes no claims to originality.
