Acyclic periodic complexes #
Cyclic homology is a homological functor on the periodic homotopy category. The objects with zero homology in every residue form a triangulated subcategory, closed under retracts. This is the kernel used in the Verdier construction of the periodic derived category.
The shift comparison follows Joël Riou's short-complex construction in
Mathlib.Algebra.Homology.HomotopyCategory.ShiftSequence. The homological-functor argument
follows Mathlib.Algebra.Homology.HomotopyCategory.HomologicalFunctor, using the
componentwise split conflations that define the periodic triangulation.

Homology of a signed cyclic shift is homology in the shifted residue.
Instances For
Signed cyclic shifts preserve and reflect acyclicity.
Homology in each cyclic degree sends distinguished triangles to exact sequences.
The acyclic objects of the cyclic homotopy category: homology vanishes in every residue.
Instances For
Membership in the acyclic subcategory is vanishing of every cyclic homology object.
A represented homotopy object is acyclic exactly when the original complex is acyclic.
