singular homological degree as group epimorphism
1. Proposition
Given the n-sphere, the singular homological degree is a algebraic group-epimorphism
2. Proof
2.1.
2.1.1.
by singular homological degree of the identity on the sphere we get
consider
for as pinch map of circles Since reduced singular homology and wedge product, we get
Here is the diagonal map (?), thus the composition is given by
Taking this results in
resp. by iteration
2.2.
The general case follows from the suspension isomorphism of singular homology
