Abstract

In this article, we introduce a new type of simplicial homology group called the chaotic simplicial homology group. We construct the structure of this group and obtain some types of conditional foldings and unfoldings restricted to the elements of the chaotic simplicial homology group. Also, we deduce the chaotic simplicial homology groups under the limit of foldings. We describe the variant and invariant of the chaotic simplicial homology group under the folding of a chaotic simplicial complex into itself. We use the chain of a commutative diagram on the simplicial complexes to induce the chain of a commutative diagram of simplicial homology groups.

1 Introduction

Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses algebraic techniques to study the properties of topological spaces. One of the most important tools in algebraic topology is homology theory, which allows one to extract algebraic information from topological spaces. Homology theory was developed in the nineteenth century to study simplicial complexes and related structures, and later, singular homology theory was introduced to generalize topological concepts [13]. A singular n -simplex is a map σ : Δ n X , where C n ( X ) is a free abelian group generated by the set of n -simplices in X . The n th homology group of X is the quotient group H n ( X ) = Ker { ˆ n : C n ( X ) C n 1 ( X ) } Im { ˆ n + 1 : C n + 1 ( X ) C n ( X ) } [46]. In algebraic topology, homological computations are used in a lot of different ways, and they are a key part of the study of mapping class groups [7].

Simplicial homology theory is another important tool in algebraic topology that is based on the association of a chain complex with each simplicial complex [8]. The homology group of a simplicial complex is defined as the homology group of its associated chain complex. Simplicial homology theory has become an important tool in various fields of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and computational topology [6]. More results related to homology and manifold theory were discussed in [913].

Given C Riemannian manifolds M 1 and M 2 of dimensions m 1 and m 2 , respectively. A map F from M 1 into itself is referred to as an isometric folding if it preserves the length of piecewise geodesic paths [14]; if it does not, it is called a topological folding [15]. On the other hand, a map η from M 1 into M 2 is referred to as an unfolding if it increases the length of piecewise geodesic paths [16]. For simplicity, we denote a C Riemannian manifold by a manifold. Let Z be a space, and let Z 0 Z be given the subspace topology. A retraction is a continuous map r : Z Z 0 in which r ( z ) = z for every z Z 0 [6]. A path graph is a graph composed of only one path and, a path graph with m -vertices is denoted by P m [17].

Chaos theory is the study of systems that act in ways that are difficult to predict because they depend so much on how they started. Edward Lorenz, a famous meteorologist, was one of the first to investigate chaos theory in order to create a model to simulate weather systems using equations. Today, chaos theory has led to the development of several mathematical tools that enable scientists and engineers to analyze and control chaotic systems for practical applications [18].

This article focuses on exploring the chaotic simplicial homology group analogs of various results. In Section 2, fundamental concepts related to the chaotic simplicial homology group are introduced. Section 3 investigates different types of foldings on chaotic simplicial complexes and their impact on the corresponding chaotic simplicial homology group. This article also demonstrates how chain folding can be applied to a chaotic simplicial homology group and extends these results to folding on a chaotic n -dimensional simplicial complex.

2 Chaotic space, chaotic chain group, chaotic cycle group, and chaotic boundary group

In this section, we introduce the notions of a chaotic space, a chaotic cycle, a chaotic t-chain group, an n-dimensional chaotic simplicial complex, the chaotic t-cycle, and a chaotic r-boundary group. Furthermore, we construct a chaotic rth homology group.

Definition 2.1

The chaotic space is a new space that includes several physical characters, every one of them homeomorphic to the initial one, either with a fixed point or without a fixed point, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. We denote the chaotic space by X ˆ = X 1 , X 2 , .

Chaotic space without fixed points.

Figure 2 
               Chaotic space with fixed points.

From the aforementioned definition, we can infer that each overlapping space X i , i = 1 , 2 , , may contain different physical characters, for example, X 1 represents, the density, X 2 represents the colors, X 3 represents the magnetic field, …, or all overlapping spaces X i , i = 1 , 2 , , represent the same physical character.

Definition 2.2

The chaotic cycle is an original cycle that carries several alternative cycles that are homeomorphic to each other, and the chaotic cycle e ˆ i can be represented as α ˆ = α n 0 , α n 1 , and the chaotic point x ˆ is denoted as x ˆ = x 0 , x 1 , . Also, we have two different chaotic cycles:

  1. Chaotic cycles of type ( I ): All cycles α n 0 , α n 1 , are identical physical characters.

  2. Chaotic cycles of type ( I I ) α n 0 , α n 1 , represent different physical characters; for example, α n 0 represents the density, α n 1 represents the colors, α n 2 represents the elasticity, etc. Moreover, we can represent the chaotic elements g ˆ of chaotic group G ˆ by g ˆ = g 1 , g 2 , .

Definition 2.3

Given a chaotic simplicial complex L ˆ , we define the chaotic t -chain group C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) as the chaotic free abelian group that is generated by the oriented chaotic t -simplexes of L ˆ . Also, C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = 0 ˆ whenever, t > dim ( L ˆ ) . Moreover, the chaotic t -chain is an element of C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) .

For ( 1 j N t ) , let σ ˆ t , j be t -chaotic simplexes in L ˆ . We can write x ˆ C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) as x ˆ = j = 1 N t x ˆ j σ ˆ t , j , x ˆ j Z ˆ ; the chaotic x ˆ j are referred to as the chaotic coefficients of x ˆ . The structure of a chaotic group is provided as the sum of two chaotic t -chains, y ˆ = j y ˆ j σ ˆ t , j and z ˆ = j z ˆ j σ ˆ t , j , which is defined as y ˆ + z ˆ = j ( y ˆ j + z ˆ j ) σ ˆ t , j . The chaotic unit element is 0 ˆ = j 0 ˆ . σ t , j , while the inverse chaotic element of x ˆ is x ˆ = j ( x ˆ j ) σ ˆ t , j . Note that C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) is a chaotic free abelian group of rank N t , C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ Z ˆ Z ˆ . N t We must introduce the chaotic boundary operator before defining the chaotic cycle group and the chaotic boundary group. We must mention that the chaotic boundary of a t -chaotic simplex σ ˆ t by ˆ t σ ˆ t should be seen as an operator on σ ˆ t to construct its chaotic boundary. Now, we will discuss the case of chaotic boundaries in the chaotic lower-dimensional simplexes. Since there is no chaotic boundary on a 0 ˆ -chaotic simplex, we set ˆ 0 q ˆ 0 = 0 ˆ . For a chaotic 1-simplex ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 ) , we define ˆ 1 ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 ) = q ˆ 1 q ˆ 0 .

Definition 2.4

For t > 0 , let σ ˆ t ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ t ) be an oriented chaotic t -simplex. The boundary ˆ t σ ˆ t of σ ˆ t is defined by

ˆ t σ ˆ t = j = 0 t ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 q ˆ j ^ q ˆ t ) ,

the symbol q ˆ j ^ , which means that the vertex q ˆ j is to be omitted. For example,

ˆ 2 ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 q ˆ 2 ) = ( q ˆ 1 q ˆ 2 ) ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 2 ) + ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 ) ,

ˆ 3 ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 q ˆ 2 q ˆ 3 ) = ( q ˆ 1 q ˆ 2 q ˆ 3 ) ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 2 q ˆ 3 ) + ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 q ˆ 3 ) ( q ˆ 0 q ˆ 1 q ˆ 2 ) .

For t = 0 , we define ˆ 0 σ ˆ 0 = 0 ˆ . Also, ˆ t shows linearly on a chaotic element x ˆ = x ˆ j σ ˆ t , j C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) as ˆ t x ˆ = x ˆ j ˆ t σ ˆ t , j C ˆ t 1 ( L ˆ ) , ˆ t defines the chaotic boundary operator ˆ t : C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) C ˆ t 1 ( L ˆ ) , and this operator is a chaotic homomorphism. For an n -dimensional chaotic simplicial complex L ˆ , there is a chaotic sequence of chaotic free abelian groups and chaotic homomorphisms,

0 ˆ ı ˆ C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) ˆ t C ˆ t 1 ( L ˆ ) ˆ t 1 ˆ 2 C ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) ˆ 1 C ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) ˆ 0 0 ˆ .

We denote this sequence by C ˆ ( L ˆ ) , which represents the chaotic chain complex corresponding to L ˆ . However, the kernel and image of a homomorphism ˆ t are worth studying. We call x ˆ a chaotic t -cycle, if ˆ t ( x ˆ ) = 0 ˆ , with x ˆ C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) . The set of all chaotic t -cycles Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) satisfies Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) (where denotes a subgroup). From now on, we will denote Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) as the chaotic t -cycle group. Also, Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = ker ˆ t . Moreover, if t = 0 , ˆ 0 x ˆ = 0 , we obtain Z ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = C ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) .

Definition 2.5

Given a chaotic t -dimensional simplicial complex L ˆ , if x ˆ C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) and there is a chaotic element z ˆ C ˆ t + 1 ( L ˆ ) for which x ˆ = ˆ t + 1 z ˆ , then x ˆ is called a chaotic t -boundary. The set of chaotic t -boundaries B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) is a chaotic subgroup of C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) and is called the chaotic t -boundary group. Note that B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = im ˆ t + 1 and B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) are chaotic subgroups of C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) .

Theorem 2.6

If Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) and B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) are chaotic t-cycles and chaotic t-boundary groups of C ˆ t ( L ˆ ) , then B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) .

Proof

Let x ˆ B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) , then x ˆ = ˆ t + 1 z ˆ for some z ˆ C ˆ t + 1 ( L ˆ ) and so, we obtain ˆ t x ˆ = ˆ t ( ˆ t + 1 z ˆ ) = 0 ˆ ; thus, x ˆ Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) . Hence, B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) .□

Definition 2.7

Given a chaotic n -dimensional simplicial complex L ˆ , the chaotic t-homology group H ˆ t ( L ˆ ) , 0 t n is defined by H ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ t ( L ˆ ) B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) . Also, H ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = 0 ˆ for t > n or t < 0 and H ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ .

Example 2.8

Let L ˆ = { a ˆ } . The chaotic 0-chain is C ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = { n a ˆ : n Z } = Z ˆ , where Z ˆ = { , 2 ˆ , 1 ˆ , 0 ˆ , 1 ˆ , 2 ˆ , } . Obviously, Z ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = C ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) and B ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = 0 ˆ since ˆ 0 a ˆ = 0 ˆ and a ˆ is not a boundary of any space. This implies that H ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) B ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = C ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ . Similarly, if L ˆ = { a ˆ , b ˆ } is a chaotic simplicial complex consisting of two chaotic 0-simplexes, then,

H ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ Z ˆ , for t = 0 , 0 ˆ , for t > 0 .

Now, we want to construct the chaotic simplicial homology group of S ˆ 1 , let L ˆ be a chaotic triangulation of S ˆ 1 , as shown in Figure 3, and L ˆ = { a ˆ , b ˆ , c ˆ , ( a ˆ b ˆ ) , ( b ˆ c ˆ ) , ( c ˆ a ˆ ) } , where ( c ˆ a ˆ ) = ( e 1 j , j = 1 , 2 , ) , ( a ˆ b ˆ ) = ( e 2 j , j = 1 , 2 , ) , and ( b ˆ c ˆ ) = ( e 3 j , j = 1 , 2 , ) . Since, no (2-chaotic simplexes exist) in L ˆ , yield B ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) = 0 ˆ and H ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) B ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) . Let z ˆ Z ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) , then z ˆ = n 1 ( a ˆ b ˆ ) + n 2 ( b ˆ c ˆ ) + n 3 ( c ˆ a ˆ ) , where n 1 , n 2 , n 3 Z .

Now ˆ 1 z ˆ = n 1 ( b ˆ a ˆ ) + n 2 ( c ˆ b ˆ ) + n 3 ( a ˆ c ˆ ) = ( n 3 n 2 ) a ˆ + ( n 1 n 2 ) b ˆ + ( n 2 n 3 ) c ˆ = 0 ˆ . This holds true whenever, n 1 = n 2 = n 3 , and so, Z ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) = { n 1 ( ( a ˆ b ˆ ) + ( b ˆ c ˆ ) + ( c ˆ a ˆ ) ) : n 1 Z } . This proves that Z ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ and H ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ 1 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ .

Now, to find H ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) , we obtain Z ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = C ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) and B ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = { ˆ 1 [ n 1 ( a ˆ b ˆ ) + n 2 ( b ˆ c ˆ ) + n 3 ( c ˆ a ˆ ) ] : n 1 , n 2 , n 3 Z } = { ( n 3 n 1 ) a ˆ + ( n 1 n 2 ) b ˆ + ( n 2 n 3 ) c ˆ : n 1 , n 2 , n 3 Z } . Define a chaotic surjective homomorphism Φ ¯ : Z ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) Z ˆ by Φ ¯ ( m 1 ( a ˆ ) + m 2 ( b ˆ ) + m 3 ( c ˆ ) ) = m 1 + m 2 + m 3 .

Clearly, Ker Φ ¯ = Φ ¯ 1 { 0 ˆ } = B ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) , and so Z ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) Ker Φ ¯ = Im Φ ¯ = Z ˆ or H ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) B ˆ 0 ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ . Hence,

H ˆ t ( S ˆ 1 ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 or 1 , 0 ˆ , for t 2 .

3 Folding on a chaotic simplicial homology group

In this section, we prove an important relation between the folding of chaotic simplicial complexes and the induced folding of chaotic simplicial homology group and deduce many types of transformations for the elements of a chaotic simplicial homology group.

Theorem 3.1

Let L ˆ 1 and L ˆ 2 be two chaotic triangulations of S ˆ 1 1 and S ˆ 2 1 , respectively. Then, there are different types of foldings F : L ˆ 1 L ˆ 2 that induce F ˜ : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 ) such that F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) is isomorphic to one of 0 , 0 ˆ , Z , or Z ˆ .

Proof

If F : L ˆ 1 L ˆ 2 is a folding for which F ( L ˆ 1 ) = L ˆ 2 , that is restricted on the original cycle must yield a folding on the chaotic cycles (physical characters), as shown in Figure 4, and so we obtain the induced folding F ˜ : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 ) for which

F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = H t ( F ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 or 1 , 0 ˆ , for t 2 .

Also, it follows from the folding F as shown in Figure 5, for all chaotic edges into original edges, that the yield F : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 ) in which

F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = H t ( F ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = Z , for t = 0 , 1 , 0 , for t 2 .

Moreover, if F is folding on some chaotic edge into the original, as shown in Figure 6, we obtain the induced folding F ˜ : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 ) in which

F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = H t ( F ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 , Z , for t = 1 , 0 ˆ , for t 2 .

Similarly, for the folding with a singularity of all chaotic edges (physical characters) and its original into another one, as shown in Figure 7, we obtain

F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 , 0 ˆ , for t 1 .

Lemma 3.2

Let M ˆ 1 and M ˆ 2 be chaotic manifolds, and let L ˆ 1 and L ˆ 2 be their respective chaotic triangulations. Then, there exists a folding F : L ˆ 1 L ˆ 2 that maps F ˜ : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 ) such that F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = H ˆ t ( F ( L ˆ 1 ) ) .

Proof

If F : L ˆ 1 L ˆ 2 is a folding in which F ( L ˆ 1 ) is homeomorphic to a chaotic triangulation of S ˆ 1 , then

F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = F ˜ ( Z ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) B ˆ t ( L ˆ ) ) = Z ˆ t ( F ( L ˆ 1 ) ) B ˆ t ( F ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = H ˆ t ( F ( L ˆ 1 ) )

Theorem 3.3

Let Q ˆ 1 and Q ˆ 2 be two chaotic triangulations of two chaotic tori, T ˆ 1 and T ˆ 2 respectively. There are different foldings F : Q ˆ 1 Q ˆ 2 that induce F ˜ : H ˆ t ( Q ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( Q ˆ 2 ) such that F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( Q ˆ 1 ) ) G 1 × G 2 , where G 1 and G 2 are one of 0 , 0 ˆ , Z , or Z ˆ .

Proof

The proof of this theorem is similar to the proof of Theorem 3.1.□

Corollary 3.4

Let L ˆ 1 and L ˆ 2 be two chaotic triangulations of S 1 t and S 2 t , respectively, and F : L ˆ 1 L ˆ 2 is a folding where dim F ( S j t ) = dim ( S j t ) , t 2 , j = 1 , 2 . Then, there are many types of induced folding of F ˜ : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 ) such that

F ˜ ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 , 0 ˆ , for t 1 .

Proof

The proof is obvious.□

Theorem 3.5

If C ˆ = { ( R ˆ , Θ ˆ ) : 1 ˆ R ˆ 2 ˆ } , and L ˆ is a chaotic triangulation of S ˆ 1 , then there exists a sequence of chaotic unfoldings { η j : L ˆ j 1 L ˆ j : j = 1 , 2 , m } , which leads to a sequence of unfoldings { η ˜ j : H ˆ t ( L ˆ j 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ j ) : j = 1 , 2 , m } in which lim m ( η ˜ m ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ m 1 ) ) ) is either a chaotic infinite cyclic group or a chaotic identity group.

Proof

Let C ˆ = { ( R ˆ , Θ ˆ ) : 1 ˆ R ˆ 2 ˆ } , S ˆ 1 = { ( R ˆ , Θ ˆ ) : R ˆ = 1 ˆ } , and η 1 : L ˆ 0 L ˆ 1 , η 2 : L ˆ 1 L ˆ 2 , , η m : L ˆ m 1 L ˆ m be a sequence of unfoldings for which lim m η m ( L ˆ m 1 ) = L ˆ , where L ˆ is a chaotic triangulation of S ˆ 1 , as shown in Figure 8, which induces η ˜ 1 : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 0 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) , η ˜ 2 : H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 ) , , η ˜ m : H ˆ t ( L ˆ m 1 ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ m ) such that

lim m ( η ˜ m ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ m 1 ) ) ) = H ˆ t ( lim m η ˜ m ( L ˆ m 1 ) ) = H ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 or 1 , 0 ˆ , for t 2 .

Hence, lim m ( η ˜ m ( H ˆ t ( L ˆ m 1 ) ) ) is a chaotic infinite cyclic group or chaotic identity group.□

Theorem 3.6

Let L ˆ be the chaotic triangulation of a chaotic manifold M ˆ . If { η j : L ˆ j 1 L ˆ j , j = 1 , 2 , , m } is a sequence of unfoldings on L ˆ j 1 into L ˆ j , then H ˆ t ( lim m ( η m ( M ˆ ) ) ) and H ˆ t ( η m ( M ˆ ) ) do not necessarily have to be equal.

Proof

Let us consider a chaotic manifold M ˆ as a chaotic triangulation of S ˆ 1 , then we have a chain of unfolding, as shown in Figure 9. If t = 1 , then H ˆ t ( lim m ( η m ( L ˆ m 1 ) ) ) = H ˆ t ( R ˆ ) 0 ˆ , but H ˆ t ( η m ( M ˆ ) ) Z ˆ . Hence, H ˆ t ( lim m ( η m ( M ˆ ) ) ) and H ˆ t ( η m ( M ˆ ) ) do not necessarily have to be equal.□

Theorem 3.7

Let P ˆ be a chaotic path graph with at least three edges. Then, the chain of unfoldings η j : P ˆ j 1 P ˆ j , j = 1 , 2 , , m , induces η ˜ j : H ˆ t ( P ˆ j 1 ) H ˆ t ( P ˆ j ) , j = 1 , 2 , , m for which

lim m ( η ˜ m ( H ˆ t ( P ˆ m 1 ) ) ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 or 1 , 0 ˆ , for t 2 .

Proof

Let P ˆ be a chaotic path graph with at least three chaotic edges, e ˆ 1 , e ˆ 2 , and e ˆ 3 . Then, we obtain the chain of unfoldings:

η 1 : P ˆ 0 P ˆ 1 , η 2 : P ˆ 1 P ˆ 2 , , η j : P ˆ j 1 P ˆ j , j = 1 , 2 , ,

with a constant curvature of one chaotic edge, say e ˆ 2 and a variation in curvature for others, say e ˆ 1 and e ˆ 3 , for which lim m η m ( P ˆ 4 ) = L ˆ , as shown in Figure 10, for n = 4 . Consequently,

lim m ( η ˜ m ( H ˆ t ( P ˆ m 1 ) ) ) = H ˆ t ( lim m ( η m ( P ˆ 4 ) ) ) H ˆ t ( L ˆ ) = Z ˆ , for t = 0 or 1 . 0 ˆ , for t 2 .

Theorem 3.8

Given L ˆ n , a chaotic n-dimensional simplicial complex, L ˆ n is a sub-chaotic n-dimensional simplicial complex L ˆ n , if there are sequences of folding maps F j and retraction maps r j , where j ranges from 1 to m, then, the sequence of a commutative diagram of simplicial complexes yields a sequence of a commutative diagram of simplicial homology groups.

Proof

As a result, we attain the following commutative diagram:

L ˆ n F 1 1 L ˆ 1 n F 2 1 L ˆ 2 n lim m F m 1 L ˆ n 1 , r 1 1 r 2 1 r 3 1 lim m r m 1 , L ˆ n F 1 1 L ˆ 1 n F 2 1 L ˆ 2 n lim m F m 1 L ˆ n 1 , L ˆ n 1 F 1 2 L ˆ 1 n 1 F 2 2 L ˆ 2 n 1 lim m F m 2 L ˆ n 2 , r 1 2 r 2 2 r 3 2 lim m r m 2 , L ˆ n 1 F 1 2 L ˆ 1 n 1 F 2 1 L ˆ 2 n 1 lim m F m 2 L ˆ n 2 , , L ˆ 1 F 1 n L ˆ 1 1 F 2 n L ˆ 2 1 lim m F m n L ˆ 0 , r 1 n r 2 n r 3 n lim m r m n , L ˆ 1 F 1 n L ˆ 1 1 F 2 n L ˆ 2 1 lim m F m n L ˆ 0 .

Since the simplicial homology group is a functor, we obtain

H ˆ t ( L ˆ n ) F ˜ 1 1 H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 n ) F ˜ 2 1 H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 n ) lim m F ˜ m 1 H ˆ t ( L ˆ n 1 ) , r ˜ 1 1 r ˜ 2 1 r ˜ 3 1 lim m r ˜ m 1 , H ˆ t ( L ˆ n ) F ˜ 1 1 H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 n ) F ˜ 2 1 H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 n ) lim m F ˜ m 1 H ˆ t ( L ˆ n 1 ) , L ˆ n 1 F ˜ 1 2 L ˆ 1 n 1 F ˜ 2 2 L ˆ 2 n 1 lim m F ˜ m 2 L ˆ n 2 , r ˜ 1 2 r ˜ 2 2 r ˜ 3 2 lim m r ˜ m 2 , H ˆ t ( L ˆ n 1 ) F ˜ 1 2 H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 n 1 ) F ˜ 2 1 H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 n 1 ) lim m F ˜ m 2 H ˆ t ( L ˆ n 2 ) , H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) F ˜ 1 n H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 1 ) F ˜ 2 n H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 1 ) lim m F ˜ m n H ˆ t ( L ˆ 0 ) , r ˜ 1 n r ˜ 2 n r ˜ 3 n lim m r ˜ m n , H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 ) F ˜ 1 n H ˆ t ( L ˆ 1 1 ) F ˜ 2 n H ˆ t ( L ˆ 2 1 ) lim m F ˜ m n H ˆ t ( L ˆ 0 ) .

4 Conclusion

In this work, the chaotic simplicial homology group is constructed. Some type of transformation on the element of the chaotic simplicial homology group is introduced. The relation between the chain of a commutative diagram on the simplicial complexes and the chain of a commutative diagram of simplicial homology groups is obtained. Based on our study, we identified some open problems that remain unresolved for future research. Can the embedding technique in chaotic simplicial homology groups generalize into dynamical homology groups? Moreover, how can we establish the chaotic fundamental group with its transformations?
