Abstract
In order to define cohomology groups, as we shall do in the next chapter, we have to define some special spaces, called Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces, which we have already mentioned. These spaces will be constructed starting from the concept of an infinite symmetric product introduced in the last chapter. This construction will be applied to the so-called Moore spaces, which by construction are CW-complexes.
