From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Jump to: navigation, search

In a broad sense, the same as a homology group; in a narrow sense, the Betti group is the free part of the homology group with as domain of coefficients the group $\ZZ$ of integers, if this homology group is finitely generated. Named after E. Betti (1823–1892).
