Are the homology and cohomology Serre spectral sequences dual to each other?

If we use homology and cohomology over a field $k$, if a space has homology and cohomology groups of finite type in each degree, then $H_\ast(X;k)$ is dual to $H^\ast(X;k)$ using the universal ...

Third bordism group of BG, where G is an arbitrary compact Lie group.

Is anything known about $\Omega_3(BG)$, where $G$ is an arbitrary compact Lie group; i.e., is it possible to describe the structure of $\Omega_3(BG)$ for any compact Lie group? I know that $H_3(BG)$ ...

Conditions under which the preimage of a submanifold in nontrivial in homology

Let $\pi: M^{n+k} \to N^n$ be a fibre bundle with fibre $F$ between compact smooth manifolds. What are “mild” sufficient conditions on the topology of $M$, $N$ and $F$ so that given a closed $p$-...

Proof of the ''trangression theorem''

Here is what I would call the transgression theorem. Let $X$ be a pointed space and $\Omega X$ its loop space. There are two maps $H_{p}(\Omega X) \to H_{p+1}(X)$ which should be the same. I am ...

spectral sequence for a complex with two filtrations

Suppose $(C,d)$ is a chain complex: an abelian group with a map $d:C \to C$ such that $d^2 = 0$ (people like to assume $C$ is graded; if that helps - feel free to do so). A filtration is an ascending ...

Homology spectral sequence for function space

The question is in the title. Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are two pointed connected CW-complexes. I was wondering if there exists a spectral sequence computing the homology of the function space $$H_{\...

a question about Bockstein spectral sequence

I find the following theorem for Bockstein spectral sequence at http://pages.vassar.edu/mccleary/files/2011/04/MC10.fin_.pdf, page 459: Question. for a fixed $k$, if $\beta$ does not hit $H_k(X;\...

Mayer–Vietoris sequence for coproduct of Hopf algebras

Is there a Mayer–Vietoris-type sequence for the homology of a coproduct of two Hopf algebras over an ideal? The definition of the coproduct can be found in Agore - Categorical Constructions for Hopf ...

Computing the homology groups of spaces in a fibration

Let $F\rightarrow X\rightarrow B$ be a fibration. If we know very well the spaces $F$ and $B$ and wish to compute the homology of $X$. One possible tool is the Serre Spectral Sequence. However, it ...

Identifying $d_1$ in the Atiyah-Hirzebruch-Serre spectral sequence

In A Primer on Spectral Sequences (also later published in More Concise Algebraic Topology), J. Peter May describes the Serre Spectral Sequence for any homology theory. To recap, suppose $p\colon E\...

non zero differential in a spectral sequence

This is the situation: Let $A = R_* \otimes C_*$ be an $R$-module where $C_*$ is a finitely generated graded ($*\geq 0$) vector space over a field $F$ which is also bounded above, and $R$ is a ...

Reference request for Leibniz rule and spectral sequences

Suppose $A_*$,$B_*$, and $C_*$ are chain complexes equipped with filtrations and a map $m:A_* \otimes B_* \to C_*$ respecting these filtrations. I am looking for a reference for the fact that the map $...
