On homology theories of cubical digraphs (Q6043341)

The path homology theory and the singular cubical homology theory for the category of digraphs were introduced by \textit{A. Grigor'yan} et al. [Pure Appl. Math. Q. 10, No. 4, 619--674 (2014; Zbl 1312.05063)]. In this category, there is a natural mapping of the cubical homology theory to the path homology theory, that induces an isomorphism of homology groups in dimensions \(0\) and \(1\). In general, these two theories give different homologies in dimensions \(\ge 2\). A natural question arises whether these two theories are equivalent on some subclass of digraphs. \par The authors present a class of cubical digraphs and prove the equivalence of the singular cubical homology and the path homology theories on this class. As a corollary, a new relation between the singular cubical homology of digraphs and simplicial homology is obtained.
