Summary: Topological methods have yielded a variety of lower bounds and impossibility results for distributed computing. In this paper, we introduce a new tool for proving impossibility results, which is based on a core theorem of algebraic topology, the acyclic carrier theorem, and unifies, generalizes and extends earlier results.
