The Universal Coefficient Theorem is a fundamental result in algebraic topology that relates homology and cohomology groups, providing a way to compute one in terms of the other. It shows that, under certain conditions, the homology of a space can be expressed in terms of its cohomology and the torsion elements involved, which is especially useful in the context of K-theory where one studies vector bundles and their associated invariants in both commutative and noncommutative settings.
congrats on reading the definition of Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT). now let's actually learn it.
