This group gathers theorems from algebraic topology, which studies spaces by attaching algebraic invariants such as fundamental groups, homotopy groups, homology, and cohomology. It covers the Hairy Ball theorem on vector fields on spheres, the Hurewicz, Whitehead, and Freudenthal suspension theorems of homotopy theory, Brown representability, the Kunneth and universal coefficient theorems that relate homology with different coefficients or products, Poincare duality for manifolds, and the Leray-Hirsch theorem on the cohomology of fiber bundles.

Hairy Ball Theorem (Wikipedia)
Wikimedia FoundationHas Member: Hairy Ball Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Hairy Ball Theorem, Lead paragraph
The hairy ball theorem of algebraic topology (formally, the Sphere Vector Field Theory, sometimes called the hedgehog theorem) states that there is no non-vanishing continuous tangent vector field on even-dimensional n-spheres.
View the Source Hurewicz theorem, Wikipedia
Has Member: Hurewicz Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Hurewicz Theorem, Lead paragraph
In mathematics, the Hurewicz theorem is a basic result of algebraic topology, connecting homotopy theory with homology theory via a map known as the Hurewicz homomorphism.
View the Source Whitehead Theorem (Wikipedia)
Wikimedia FoundationHas Member: Whitehead Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Whitehead Theorem, Lead paragraph
In homotopy theory (a branch of mathematics), the Whitehead theorem states that if a continuous mapping f between CW complexes X and Y induces isomorphisms on all homotopy groups, then f is a homotopy equivalence.

Has Member: Freudenthal Suspension Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Freudenthal Suspension Theorem, Lead paragraph
In mathematics, and specifically in the field of homotopy theory, the Freudenthal suspension theorem is the fundamental result leading to the concept of stabilization of homotopy groups and ultimately to stable homotopy theory.

Has Member: Brown Representability Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Brown Representability Theorem, Lead paragraph
In mathematics, Brown's representability theorem in homotopy theory gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a contravariant functor F on the homotopy category Hotc of pointed connected CW complexes, to the category of sets Set, to be a representable functor.

In mathematics, the Leray-Hirsch theorem is a basic result on the algebraic topology of fiber bundles.
View the Source Kunneth theorem (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Kunneth Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Kunneth Theorem, Lead paragraph
In mathematics, especially in homological algebra and algebraic topology, a Künneth theorem, also called a Künneth formula, is a statement relating the homology of two objects to the homology of their product.

Has Member: Universal Coefficient Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Universal Coefficient Theorem, Lead paragraph
In algebraic topology, universal coefficient theorems (UCT) establish relationships between homology groups (or cohomology groups) with different coefficients.

Wikimedia FoundationHas Member: Poincare Duality Theorem, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Poincare Duality Theorem, Lead paragraph
In mathematics, the Poincaré duality theorem, named after Henri Poincaré, is a basic result on the structure of the homology and cohomology groups of manifolds.

In mathematics, the Seifert-Van Kampen theorem of algebraic topology (named after Herbert Seifert and Egbert van Kampen), sometimes just called Van Kampen's theorem, expresses the structure of the fundamental group of a topological space X {\displaystyle X} in terms of the fundamental groups of two open, path-connected subspaces that cover X {\displaystyle X} .
