Singular cohomology with local coefficients #

Let L be a local coefficient system of R-modules on a space X and let M be an R-module. Applying Hom(-, M) to the singular chains of X twisted by L gives the twisted singular cochain complex: in degree n it is the module of morphisms from the twisted n-chains to M, and its differential is precomposition with the twisted singular boundary. Its cohomology is the singular cohomology of X with coefficients in L and values in M. As for untwisted singular cohomology, the cochain groups are modules over any ring k acting linearly on R-modules: ℤ always, and R itself when R is commutative.

Since the twisted n-chains are the coproduct over the singular n-simplices σ of the fibre of L at the initial vertex of σ, a twisted n-cochain is a family of morphisms L(σ(0)) ⟶ M, one for each singular n-simplex. So this is cohomology with coefficients in the dual of L, which is the form in which cap products pair cohomology against homology twisted by the orientation system of a manifold.

Everything is functorial: a morphism of local coefficient systems L ⟶ K induces a cochain map from the cochains twisted by K to those twisted by L, a continuous map f : X ⟶ Y induces a cochain map from the cochains of Y twisted by L to those of X twisted by the pullback system, and for a constant system the construction returns ordinary singular cohomology. Pulling a system back along homotopic maps produces canonically isomorphic twisted cochain complexes and cohomology groups.
