K-Theory
Betti numbers are a sequence of integers that represent the rank of the homology groups of a topological space, giving insight into its shape and structure. They quantify the number of n-dimensional holes in a space, with the first few Betti numbers providing information about connected components, loops, and voids. Understanding Betti numbers is essential in various fields, including algebraic topology and K-Theory, particularly when relating topological spaces to fixed point theorems.
