Let GGG be a finitely generated abelian group. Prove that there exist a natural number mmm and an abstract simplicial complex LLL on Fin m whose geometric realization is homeomorphic to the unit sphere S4⊂R5S^4\subset\mathbb R^5S4⊂R5, such that the same moment-angle space ZL\mathcal Z_LZL​ admits injective additive homomorphisms

G↪H∗(ZL;Z)andG↪H∗(ΩZL;Z).G\hookrightarrow H_*(\mathcal Z_L;\mathbb Z) \quad\text{and}\quad G\hookrightarrow H_*(\Omega\mathcal Z_L;\mathbb Z).G↪H∗​(ZL​;Z)andG↪H∗​(ΩZL​;Z).

Here ZL\mathcal Z_LZL​ is the union, over faces σ\sigmaσ of LLL, of coordinate products having a disk D2D^2D2 in the coordinates of σ\sigmaσ and a circle S1S^1S1 elsewhere. The loop space is based at the all-ones point, and H∗H_*H∗​ denotes the direct sum of integral singular homology over all nonnegative degrees.

The same simplicial 444-sphere must witness both embeddings. The claim concerns additive subgroups; the embeddings need not occupy the same homological degree or preserve a graded ring structure.

Formalization Note The sphere condition is an actual homeomorphism, the moment-angle and loop spaces are concrete topological spaces, and the two subgroup claims are explicit injective additive homomorphisms.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
