(i) Suppose that (C,d) and (C′,d′) are chain complexes, and f,g:C→C′ are chain maps. Define what it means for f and g to be chain homotopic.
Show that if f and g are chain homotopic, and f∗,g∗:H∗(C)→H∗(C′) are the induced maps, then f∗=g∗.
(ii) Define the Euler characteristic of a finite chain complex.
Given that one of the sequences below is exact and the others are not, which is the exact one?
