For , the -Betti number of a chain complex (of modules over a ring ) is the rank
of its th homology group, regarded as an -module.
For a topological space, its th Betti number is that of its singular homology-complex
For moreover a smooth manifold then by the de Rham theorem this is equivalently the dimension of the de Rham cohomology groups.
The alternating sum of all the Betti numbers is – if it exists – the Euler characteristic.
Named after Enrico Betti.
