Coefficient pairings on simplicial chains #

Let C be a preadditive monoidal category with w-small coproducts, and let M be an object of C such that M ⊗ - preserves w-small coproducts (for instance, any object of a closed monoidal category such as ModuleCat k). The simplicial chains Cₙ(X; S) of a simplicial set X are the coproduct of one copy of S for each n-simplex, so M ⊗ Cₙ(X; S) is the coproduct of one copy of M ⊗ S for each n-simplex. A pairing μ : M ⊗ S ⟶ P of coefficient objects therefore induces, simplex by simplex, a chain map X.chainComplexPairing μ from the complex M ⊗ C(X; S) to C(X; P): it is the identification M ⊗ C(X; S) ≅ C(X; M ⊗ S) of Mathlib's SSet.chainComplexFunctorObjCompMapIso (for the coproduct-preserving functor M ⊗ -), followed by the chain map induced by μ. It is natural in X and in the coefficient objects.

This is how the coefficients of a cochain act on chains in the cap product: capping with a cochain φ : Cₚ(X; R) ⟶ M produces an element of M ⊗ C_q(X; S), which the pairing turns into a chain with coefficients in P.

In the same way, when tensoring on either side preserves w-small coproducts, the tensor product Cₚ(K; R) ⊗ C_q(L; S) of chain groups of two simplicial sets is the coproduct of one copy of R ⊗ S for each pair of a p-simplex of K and a q-simplex of L, which describes morphisms out of tensor products of simplicial chains, such as the shuffle map.

Main definitions and results #

@[simp]

The inverse of the identification F(C(X; R)) ≅ C(X; F(R)) of SSet.chainComplexFunctorObjCompMapIso, for a coproduct-preserving functor F, sends the summand F(R) of a simplex x to the image under F of the summand R of x. Morphisms out of F(Cₙ(X; R)) are therefore determined on these images.

The morphism out of the tensor product Cₚ(K; R) ⊗ C_q(L; S) of two simplicial chain groups given by a morphism φ x y : R ⊗ S ⟶ A for each p-simplex x of K and q-simplex y of L (SSet.ιChainComplex_tensorHom_ιChainComplex_tensorChainComplexXDesc). When tensoring preserves coproducts, Cₚ(K; R) ⊗ C_q(L; S) is the coproduct of one copy of R ⊗ S for each such pair.

    The chain map induced by a coefficient pairing μ : M ⊗ S ⟶ P: the chain map M ⊗ C(X; S) ⟶ C(X; P) which sends the summand M ⊗ S of a simplex x to the summand P of x through μ (SSet.whiskerLeft_ιChainComplex_chainComplexPairing_f). It is the identification M ⊗ C(X; S) ≅ C(X; M ⊗ S) followed by the chain map induced by μ.
