suspension isomorphism


Proposition 1.

Let X be a topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath. There is a natural isomorphism

s:Hn+1(SX)Hn(X),

where SX stands for the unreduced suspension of X.

If X has a basepoint, there is a natural isomorphism

s:H~n+1(ΣX)H~n(X),

where ΣX is the reduced suspension.

A similar propositionPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath holds with homologyMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath replaced by cohomology.

In fact, these propositions follow from the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms without the dimension axiom, so they hold for any generalized (co)homology theory in place of integral (co)homology.
