   5# Alexander Duality — Towards Replacing Axioms (Q3)
   6
   7## The Question
   8
   9Can the 3 Alexander duality axioms (used in T8: D=3 forcing) be replaced
  10with proofs from Mathlib's algebraic topology library?
  11
  12## Current Axioms
  13
  141. `CircleReducedCohomologyNontrivial : ℤ → Prop`
  152. `circle_reduced_cohomology_iff (k : ℤ) : CircleReducedCohomologyNontrivial k ↔ k = 1`
  163. `alexander_duality_circle_linking (D : ℕ) : ...`
  17
  18## Mathematical Content
  19
  20The linking argument: S^1 links non-trivially in S^D iff D = 3.
  21This follows from Alexander duality:
  22  H̃_{D-2}(S^D \ S^1) ≅ H̃^1(S^1) ≅ ℤ  (nontrivial iff D-2 ≥ 1, i.e., D ≥ 3)
  23Combined with the constraint that linking is 1-dimensional (circles),
  24this forces D = 3 exactly.
  25
  26## Status
  27
  28Mathlib's `AlgebraicTopology` does not yet include reduced cohomology
  29of spheres. This module documents the mathematical proof and provides
  30the structural framework for when Mathlib support arrives.

  60Alexander duality tells us: a p-sphere links non-trivially in S^n
  61iff n = p + q + 1 for the appropriate complementary dimension q.

  76is between circles. Circles link non-trivially only in D = 3. -/
