Mayer–Vietoris base case: H₁(S¹; ℤ) ≅ ℤ #

We compute the integral first homology of the circle S¹ by the singular Mayer–Vietoris sequence applied to the two-punctured cover specialized from the recursive step file (SphereHomologyMVStep.lean), with n = 0:

Around degree 1 the sequence reads H₁(U) ⊕ H₁(V) → H₁(S¹) → H₀(U ∩ V) → H₀(U) ⊕ H₀(V). The left term vanishes (contractibility), so the connecting map identifies H₁(S¹) ≅ ker(H₀(U ∩ V) → H₀(U) ⊕ H₀(V)). Using the augmentation isomorphism H₀(contractible) ≅ ℤ (SingularH0PathConnected.lean), that kernel coincides with the kernel of the augmentation H₀(U ∩ V) → ℤ, i.e. with the reduced zeroth homology H_tilde₀(S⁰) ≅ ℤ.

The result sphereTopHomologyIsoOne : SphereTopHomologyIso 1 supplies the base field of SphereSuspensionTower.

          Reduced H₀(S⁰) ≅ ℤ #

          Algebra helper. The kernel of a surjection from a rank-2 finite free ℤ-module onto ℤ is isomorphic to ℤ.

          The kernel of the band augmentation is ℤ #

          The kernel of the band augmentation H₀(U ∩ V) → ℤ is isomorphic to ℤ, using the homotopy equivalence U ∩ V ≃ S⁰ and reducedH0_sphere0_iso.

          The Mayer–Vietoris kernel identity #

          The Mayer–Vietoris kernel coincides with the reduced-H₀ kernel. ker(H₀(U ∩ V) → H₀(U) ⊕ H₀(V)) ≅ ker(H₀(U ∩ V) → ℤ).
