2 0 Introduction It is well-known that in the Alexander-Spanier cohomology theory [17], [18] or in the isomorphic theory of Cech [9], if the coecient group G is topological then either the theory does not take into account the topology on G [9], [18], or considers only the case when G is compact to obtain a compact cohomology [5], [8]. Continuous cohomology naturally arises when the coecient group of a cohomology theory is topological [6],[7],[11]. The partially continuous Alexander-Spanier cohomology theory [14] can be considered as a variant of the continuous cohomology of a space with two topologies in the sense of Bott-Haeiger [15]; also it is isomorphic to the continuous cohomology of a simplicial space dened by Brown-Szczarba [6]. The idea of -groups [1],[2] where is a locally-nite simplicial complex, is used to introduce the -types of Alexander-Spanier cohomology with coecients in a pair (G; G 0 ) of topological abelian groups [3],[4]; namely, -Alexander-Spanier and partially continuous - Alexander-Spanier cohomologies H, H ~. It is proved that these -types satised the seven Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms [9]; the excision axiom for the second -type is veried for compact Hausdor spaces when (G; G 0 ) are absolutely retract. Therefore the uniueness theorem of the cohomology theory on the category of compact polyhedral pairs [9], asserts that our Alexander-Spanier -types over a pair of absolute retract coecient abelian groups are naturally isomorphic. The present work is centered around the tautness property for the Alexander-Spanier - types cohomology. Roughly speaking, we prove that the -Alexander-Spanier cohomology of a closed subset in a paracompact space is isomorphic to the direct limit of the -Alexander-Spanier cohomology of its neighborhoods; and that the partially continuous -Alexander-Spanier cohomology of a neighborhood retract closed subspace of a Hausdor space is isomorphic to the direct limit of the partially continuous -Alexander-Spanier cohomology of its neighborhoods. Also a version of the continuity property is proved. Moreover, we study some application of the -type cohomologies. 1 Alexander-Spanier Cohomology of Types Here we mention the notations which will be used throughout the present work [3],[4]. For an object (X; A) of the category Q of the pairs of topological spaces and their continuous maps, denote by (X; A)[~(X; A)] the set of the pairs =(; 0 ), where is an open covering of X and 0 is a subcollection of covering A[ 0 = \ A]; it is directed with respect to the renement relation <, i.e. < and 0 < 0 [9]. Denote by C ( ) ( ~ X) the group of the functions ' : ~ X ( )+1! G, where is a simplex in, () = + dim, 0, and ~ X denotes either a space X or 2 (X). Let C ( ) ( ~ X) be the subgroup of the direct product Q 2 C( ) ( ~ X) consisting of such ' = f' g for which the condition (k) is satised, which states that there is a conite subset (') of, i.e. (') is nite, such that (' ) 1 (G 0 )= ~ X ()+1, 2

3 8 2 ('). The coboundary : C ( ~ X)! C +1 ( ~ X)is ( ') = X ()+1 i=1 X ( 1) i ' (( )+1) p i +( 1) ( )+1 2st( ) [ : ]' ; where st() =f2: is (dim 1){face of g, p ( ) i : X +1! X is the projection dened by: if ^ti is the -tuple consisting of t =(x 0 ;:::;x ) 2 X +1 with x i omitted, then p ( ) i (t) =^ti, 0i.The cohomology groups of the cochain complex C 6= (X) =fc (X); g is, in general, uninteresting, as shown in the following theorem [3]. Theorem 1.1. If dim = 0, then H (C 6= (X)) = G (the subgroup of G = Q 2 G, G = G, consisting of those elements having all but a nite number of their -coordinates in G 0 ), and H (C 6= (X)) = 0, when 6= 0. To pass to more interesting cohomology groups, the topology of the space X will be used to dene that ' 2 C (X) is said to be -locally zero on M X if there is 2 X (M) (the set of external covering of M by open subsets of X) such that ' vanishes on \ M, i.e. each ' vanishes on ( \ M) ( )+1, where = [fu : u 2 g. The subgroups of C (X) consisting of those elements which are -locally zero on X, A respectively are denoted by C 0 (X), C (X; A). The -Alexander-Spanier cohomology of (X; A) over (G; G 0 ), denoted by H (X; A), is the cohomology of the uotient cochain complex C 6= (X; A) =C6= (X; A)=C 6= (X). 0 If f : (X; A)! (Y;B) is in Q, 2 (Y;B) and = f 1 ( ), then f denes a cochain map f 6= : C 6= (Y;B)! 6= C (X; A), where (f ')=(') for each ' 2 C (Y ). In turn, f 6= induces the homomorphism f : H (Y;B)! H (X; A). On the other hand, for 2 (X; A), denote by C. The subgroup of C = C () consisting of those ' which vanishes on 0 \ A. Then we obtain a direct system fc 6= g (X;A) such that any map f 2 Q constitutes a map F : fc 6= g (Y;B)!fC 6= g (X;A) [9]; its limit is F 1. Theorem 1.2. The -Alexander-Spanier cohomology functor f H, f g is naturally isomorphic to the functor flim! fh (C 6= )g (X;A), F 1 g [4]. In the previous part, the topology on (G; G) plays no role; to pass to the second cohomology of -type we characterize an element ' 2 C (X) tobe-partially continuous if it is continuous on some 2 (X), i.e. ' j ( )+1 are continuous functions. Let L (X) be the group of all such elements, and M 6= (X) = L6= (X)=C 6= 0 (X). The subgroup of C, where 2 (X), consisting of the -continuous elements ', i.e. ' are continuous, is denoted by M. Let i : A,! X, dene M 6= (X; A) to be the mapping cone of i6= : M 6= (X)! M 6= (A), [13],[18], assuming that M (X; A) =M (X)M 1 (A), and the coboundary is ('; ) =( '; i ' + 1 ). The cohomology of M 6= (X; A) is the partially continuous -Alexander-Spanier cohomology of (X; A) over the topological pair (G; G 0 ) of coecient groups; it is denoted by H ~ (X; A). On the other hand, if 2 ~(X; A), then i denes a cochain map i 6= : M 6=! M 6= 0 ; its mapping cone is denoted by M 6=. 3

4 Theorem 1.3. lim! fm 6= g ~(X;A) [4]. For a pair (X; A) 2 Q with A is closed, M 6= (X; A) is naturally isomorphic to Theorem 1.4 For a discrete space, and 0, ~ H (X) ' H (X). Proof. Since X ( )+1 admits a discrete topology, it follows that each -coordinate ' of ' 2 C (X) is continuous [16]. Then ' is -partially continuous with respect to any 2 (X). Therefore L (X) =C (X) and M 6= (X) = C 6= (X). 2 Tautness and Continuity Properties This article is devoted to study the tautness property for both Alexander-Spanier cohomology of -types. One of its applications is the continuity property. The star of a subset A in a space X with respect to 2 (X) is st(a; ) =[fu 2 : U d \ A 6= ;g The star of is = fst(u ;):u 2g Denition 2.1 Let, 2 (X), then is a star-renement of, written <,if<. Denote by (A) the collections of neighborhoods fg of A in X; it is directed downward by inclusion. If 1 < 2, then the inclusion 12 : 2,! 1 induces the homomorphisms 12 : H ( 1)! H ( 2). Also i : A,! induces i : H ()! H (A), and they dene a homomorphism Theorem 2.1 (Tautness). I 1 : lim! f H (); 12 g (A)! H (A) : A closed subspace of a paracompact space is a taut subspace relative to the -Alexander-Spanier cohomology, i.e. I 1 is an isomorphism for each and any pair (G; G 0 ) of coecient groups. Proof. (1) I 1 is an epimorphism. Actually let h 2 H (A) with representative ' 2 C (A), written h =[']. Let ' 2 C (A) such that ' 2 '. Then there is = fu = \ A : X is openg 2(A) such that Since A is closed, it follows that = f g[fx ( ') j ( )+2 =0 (2:1) Ag 2(X). The paracompactness of X is euivalent to the existence of such 2 (X) that < [21], and a neighborhood of A and an extension f :! A (not necessarily continuous) of the identity map id A of A, i.e. fi =id A,such that f(u \ ) st(u ;) for each u 2 [18]. One can show that f denes a cochain map f 6= : C 6= (A)! C 6= () by (f ') = ' f (( )+1) with (f ') = ('), where 4

5 f ( ) :! A given by f(x 0 ;:::x 1 )=(f(x 0 );:::;f(x 1 )). The relation < yields that for each u 2 there is u 2 such that f(u \ ) st(u ;) u. Because f() =A, then f(u \ ) u \ A u for some u 2. By using (2.1), we get ( f ') j( \ ) ( )+2 =0, i.e. (f ') 2 C +1 0 (). Then f ' represents a cocycle f ' 2 C () which, in turn, denes h 2 H (), i.e. h =[f ']. Let t 2 A ( )+1, then (i (f ')) (t) =' f (()+1) i and therefore i h =[(fi ) ']=[']=h. (( )+1) (t) =' (t); (2) I 1 is a monomorphism. Actually, let h 1 2 H ( 1), ' 1 such that ' 1 2 ' 1, ' 1 2 h 1, and [h 1 ] 2 eri 1. 2 C ( 1) and ' 1 2 C ( 1 ) First, one can consider that the neighborhood 1 of A is a paracompact subset of X. For, if 1 is not so, then there is a paracompact subset M 1 of X such that M 1 < 1 (e.g., take M 1 = X) [10]. The inclusion M 11 induces an epimorphism 6= M11 [3], let M11 1 = ' 1. Thus the cohomology class of H (M 1) represented by 1 is [h 1 ], which shows that 1 can be taken paracompact. ow, ' 1 2 er, or euivalently, there is = fu = \ 1 : X is openg 2( 1 ) such that ( ' 1 ) j ( )+2 =0: (2:2) On the other hand, the assumption i 1 h 1 =0asserts that there exists ' 2 C 1 (A) such that i 1 ' 1 1 ' 2 C 0 (A), where ' 2 '. This means that there is such = fu =! \ A :! X is openg 2(A) that Assume that 1 = fu 1 =! \ 1 g[f 1 (i 1 ' 1) =( 1 ') on ( )+1 (2:3) Ag. The paracompactness of 1 asserts the existence of 1 ; 2 2( 1 ) for which < 1 and 1 < 2. The directedness of ( 1 ) implies that there 2 ( 1 ) for which 1 ; 2 <; and so for each u 2 there are u i 2 i, i =1;2and u 2, u such that u u i st(u i ; i )u \u 1 ; Then st(u ;)u \u 1 (2:4) i.e. ; 1 <. According to Lemma in [18], there is a neighborhood 2 of 1 and f : 2! A (not necessarily continuous) such that fi 2 =id A, and u such that f(u \ 2 ) st(u ;)u 1 u 1 \A=u (2:5) Then, by (2.3), we get ( 1 f 1 ') =(f i 1 ' 1)on(\ 2 ) ()+1 (2:6) 5

6 Dene D : C +1 ( 1 )! C ( 2 )by: if t =(x 0 ;:::;x () )2 ()+1 2 and 1 2 C +1 ( 1 ) then where (D 1) (t) = () X r=0 ( 1) 1 (y 0 ;:::;y ;z ;:::;z () ) ; y j = 12(x j ); z j =(i 1 f)(x j)=f(x j ); and (D 1 )=( 1 ). A similar calculation as given in [4], we get ( 1 D 1 ' 1 ) =(f i 1 ' 1) ( 12 ' 1) (D ' 1 ) (2:7) By (2.4), (2.5) for each u 2, there is u 2 such that (u \ 2 ) [ f(u \ 2 ) u Then, by (2.7), (2.2), (2.6) conseuently, we have ( 1 D 1 ' 1 ) =(f i 1 ' 1) ( 12 ' 1) on ( \ 2 ) ( )+1 ; and so Therefore ( 12 ' 1) =( 1 (f 1 ' D 1 ' 1 )) on ( \ 2 ) ( )+1 : 2 = f 1 ' D 1 ' 1 2 C 1 ( 2 ) such that i.e. 12 h 1 = 0 which completes the proof. ( 12 ' 1) =( 1 2) on ( \ 2 ) ( )+1 ; Corollary 2.2. Any one-point subset of a paracompact is a taut subspace relative to H. The next part is devoted to study the tautness property for ~ H, which is also valid for H. The idea and results of study. -contiguous maps, introduced in [4] plays an essential role in this The inclusions 12 : 2,! 1 corresponding to the relations 1 < 2 in (A), dene the direct system f ~ H (); ~ 12 g. Also the inclusion i : A,!, where 2(A), dene a map of direct systems [9]: I : fh (M 6= ); ~ g ( )!fh (M 6= ~ ; ~ ~ ~ g (A) where 2 (), ~ = i 1 () =\A. On the other hand, f ~ i g dene a homomorphism ~I 1 : lim! f ~ H (); ~ 12 g (A)! ~ H (A) 6

7 Theorem 2.3 (Tautness). If A is a closed subset in a Hausdor space X such that A is a neighborhood retract, then A is a taut subspace relative to the cohomology ~ H. Proof. 1) I ~ 1 is an epimorphism. Actually, let h 2 H ~ (A). Without loss of generality, the neighborhood retractness of A in X yields that A has an open neighborhood U (in X) such that U and a retraction 1 : U! A (If U 1 is an open neighborhood of A of which A is retract but U 1 6, take U = U 1 \ Int). Let i U : A,!U then, I ~ 1 [~ 1(h)] = ~ i U (~ h)= e 1 id A(h) =h. 2) I ~ 1 is a monomorphism. Let [h] 2 er~ I 1, It is sucient to construct V 2(A) satisfying <V and ~ V h =0. Since the cohomology functor commutes with the direct limit [18]. Theorem 1.3 asserts that one may assume that h belongs to lim! fh (M 6= ), ~ g ( ) with representative h 2 H (M 6= ), where = fu =! \ :! X is openg 2() Let 1 = f! g[fx Ag, ~= 1 \A, =fu = 1 1 (u ~)\(u \U):6=u ~ 2~g; V =[u,= 1 jv :V,!A, and 0 = 1 \ V. Then ~ 2 (A), 0 = \ V 2 (V ), u ~ u for each u ~ 6=, is a family of open subsets in Uand so open in X, V is an open neighborhood of A such that V U, and 2 (V ). Since u = u \ u V \ u = u 0, it follows that 0 <. Also 0 \ A = \ A = ~ and j 1 = ~, where j : A,!V. If ` : V,!, and ['] 2 H (M 6= ), then ~ j ~ 0 ~`['] =~ j [f(' j 0 ()+1 )j ( )+1 g] =[f' j~ ()+1 g] ; i.e. ~ j ~ 0 ~` = ~ i ; (2:8) where ~ i 6= ; : M6=! M6= ~ is induced by i : A,!. On the other hand, (j)u u and so j, id V : V! V are contiguous [4]. It follows that ( idv e ) ; ( jr) f : M! M are cochain homotopic [4]. Then ( e idv ) = (f jr) = ~r ~ ~ j, which yields that ~ j is a monomorphism. Because ~ i ; h =0,(2.8) yields that ~ 0 ~` h =0. Since ~` h,~ 0 (~`h ) represent the zero element of lim! fh (M 6= ), ~ g ( ), it follows that ~ V h =[~` h ]=0. The rest of this article is centered around a special case of the continuity property for H. As an application of the continuity property the cohomology groups satisfy a much stronger form of the excision axiom. The following results can be deduced from those given in [9]. 7

8 Lemma 2.4. Let X be the intersection of a nested system fx ; g, then (i) X and limfx ; g are homeomorphic (ii) If the nested system consists of compact Hausdor spaces then X is a closed subset of each X. (iii) If is an open neighborhood of X in X (for some 2 ), then there is >in such that X. The inclusions i : X,! X dene a map its direct limit is denoted by I 1. I : f H (X ); g! H (X) ; Theorem 2.5 (Weak continuity). compact Hausdor spaces, then I 1 is an isomorphism. If X is the intersection of a nested system fx ; g of Proof. Since each X is a paracompact Hausdor space [10] and X is closed in X (Lemma 2.4), it follows, by Theorem 2.1, that X is a taut subspace in X relative to H. (1) I 1 is an epimorphism. Let h 2 H (X), then, according to Theorem 2.1, there exists an open neighborhood of X in X and h 2 H (), such that i (h ) = h. By Lemma 2.4, there is > in such that X. Let i : X,! X, j : X,!. Because i ( j h )=(j i ) h = i h =h, then I 1 [ j h ]=h. (2) I 1 is a monomorphism. Let [h ] 2 er I 1, i.e. i h = 0. The tautness of X in X yields, by Theorem 2.1, an open neighborhood of X in X such that h is the uniue element for which i 0 h =0,where i 0 : X,!. Because i 0 ( i h )= i h =0,then i h =0. Let >in such that X, then h =(i i ) h = j ( i h ) = 0, i.e. [h ]=0. 3 Applications One of the good applications of the Alexander-Spanier cohomology of -types is the study of the 0-dimensional cohomology groups and their relation with the connectedness of the space [4]. In this article two applications are given. In a next work we hope to give more applications. The rst application is concentrated to dene the partially continuous -Alexander-Spanier cohomology of an excision map and calculate its value for some dimensions. Let f ~ 6= : M 6= (Y;B)! M6= (X; A) be the cochain map induced by the map f in Q. Dene M 6= (f) to be the mapping cone of ~ f 6= by: M (f) =M 1 (Y;B) M (X; A) ; = M (Y ) M 1 (B) M 1 (X) M 2 (A) ; and the coboundary is ~ (' 2 ; 2 ;' 1 ; 1 )= 8

9 Then there is a short exact seuence =( (' 2 ; 2 ); (' 1 ; 1 )+ ~ f (' 2 ; 2 )) =( ' 2 ; ~ i ' 2 1 2; 1 ' 1 + ~ f ' 2 ; ~ i 1 ' g fja) 1 2) 0! + M 6= (X; A) 6=! M 6= (f) x6=! M 6= (Y;B)! O 2 (3:1) where 6=, 6= + are injection, projection respectively; M 6= (X; A) is the complex M 6= (X; A) with the dimensions all raised by one, and M 6= (Y;B) is the complex M 6= (Y;B) with the sign of the coboundary changed [12]. ote that H ( M 6= (Y;B)) = ~ H (Y;B). Let V be an open subset of X such that V IntA; B = X V, and C = A V. Put the excision map e :(B;C),! (X; A) in (3.1) instead of f, and then apply the cohomology functor, we get the long exact seuence: :::! ~ H (e) ~! ~ H (X; A) ~e! ~ H (B;C) ~! H ~ +1 (e)! ::: (3:2) Thus the groups H ~ (e), ~ +1 H (e) measure how much the cohomological groups deviate from the excision axiom. Theorem 3.1. If dim =0,e:(B;C),! (X; A) is an excision map, where A is closed and (G; G 0 )any pair of topological abelian groups, then H ~ (e) = 0 when =0or=1. Proof. (1) Case =0. Wehave M(e)=M 0 (X; 0 A) =M(X)=L 0 0 (X) Let ' 2 M 0 (e) such that ~' = 0, then ~ i 0 ' =0,~e' =0. Then ' = 0 [4], which means that er ~ 0 =0. (2) Case =1. Wehave M(e)=M 1 (X)L 0 0 (A)L 0 (B): It is sucient to show that er ~ 1 Im ~ 0. Let (' 2 ; 2 ;' 1 ;0) 2 er~ 1, then 1 ' =0; ~ i 0 ' 2 = 0 2 ~e 1 ' 2 = 0 ' 1 (3:3) ~e 0 1( 2 )=~ j'1 (3:4) where i : A,!X,j:C,!Band e 1 = ejc. By (3.4), there exists [4], ' 2 M 0 (X) =L0 (X) such that ~ i 0 ' = 2 ; ~e 0 ' = ' 1 (3:5) 9

10 By (3.3)-(3.5), we get ~ i 1 ( 0 ' ' 2 )=0; ~e 1 ( 0 ' ' 2 )=0 (3:6) Then 0 ' = ' 2 [4], which with (3.6) yield that ('; 0; 0; 0) 2 M 0 (e) such that ~ 0 ('; 0; 0; 0) = (' 2 ; 2 ;' 1 ;0). Combining the seuence (3.2) and the above theorem, we get the following result. Corollary 3.2 Under the assumptions of Theorem (3.1), the map ~e 0 : ~ H 0 (X; A)! ~ H 0 (B;C) is an isomorphism but ~e 1 is a monomorphism: The second application is to give attention in our work to use a pair of coecients groups, an arbitrary locally-nite simplicial complex, and the condition (k). Let : (G; G 0 )! (F; F 0 ) be a homeomorphism of pairs of (discrete) abelian groups which is an epimorphism, (L; L 0 ) = er and :(L; L 0 ),! (G; G 0 ). Then for each 2 (X; A), the maps, dene, naturally a short exact seuence 0! C (; L; L 0 )! C (;G; G 0 )! C (;F; F 0 )! 0; its cohomology is a long exact seuence [12] denoted by S. One can show that fs g (X;A) is a direct system, its direct limit [3], [4] :::! H 1 (X; A; F; F 0 )! H (X; A0 ; L; L 0 )! H (X; A; G; G0 )! H (X; A; F; F 0 )! H +1 (X; A; L; L0 )! ::: ow instead of F take the factor group G=G 0 and so instead of F 0 will be the null subgroup of G=G 0. Then the above seuence yields the following result. Theorem 3.3 Consider that (X; A) has a trivial ( 1)-dimensional -Alexander-Spanier cohomology group with nite cochains, and a trivial ( + 1)-dimensional -Alexander-Spanier cohomology with innite cochains, taken over the coecient groups G=G 0 and G 0 respectively. Then the group H (X; A; G; G0 ) dened over an arbitrary pair (G; G 0 ) of coecient groups is the extension of the cohomology group H (X; A; G0 ) with innite cochains over G 0 by the group H (X; A; G=G0 ) with nite cochains over G=G 0.
