A homological nerve theorem for open covers
Abstract
In this note we show that a particular homological nerve theorem, which was originally proved for a finite cover of a simplicial complex by subcomplexes, also holds for an open cover of an arbitrary topological space. The motivation for this is to affirmatively answer a question about the homology groups of Vietoris metric thickenings.
