I am trying to solve out Exercise 3.3.35 of Hatcher's Book on Algebraic Topology:
I have two basic questions:
- How to define the long exact sequence in the first row? For example, can we first find a directed system of long exact sequences, which will be the first row after the direct limit is taken?
- After the proceeding question is solved, how to prove that the second vertical mapping is an isomorphism? I am wondering it because it is essential to the application of the five-lemma and any other duality with boundary in the book, e.g., Lefschetz duality, does not apply to it because $M$ now is non-compact.
