Abstract

In this article, we prove the algebraic counterpart of the topological results H1(S1,Z)ZH^1(S^1, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z} and H1(S2,Z){0}H^1(S^2, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \{0\}. We also see that a non-trivial element of the algebraic cohomotopy groups of certain rings associated with some known topological spaces provides examples of non-free stably free module of rank two over those rings.
