REMARKS ON UNIVERSAL COEFFICIENT THEOREMS FOR GENERALIZED HOMOLOGY THEORIES

Abstract

New proofs of universal coefficient theorems for generalized homology theories (cf. ∮ 2, ∮ 3) including L. G. Brown's result, relating Brown-Douglas-Fillmore's Ext (X) with complex K-theory are presented. They are all based on a theorem asserting the existence of a chain functor for a generalized homology theory (cf. ∮ 1), which was originally designed for the construction of strong homology theories on strong shape categories.
