The normalized cubical chain complex functor #
The normalized cubical chains of a topological space, with their boundary, form a chain complex
of modules over the coefficient ring, and continuous maps induce chain maps. This packages the
concrete normalized cubical chains of TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.Singular.Cubical.Normalized as a
functor TopCat ⥤ ChainComplex (ModuleCat R) ℕ, the form in which they are compared with the
simplicial singular chain complex.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.normalizedCubicalChainComplex R: the functor sending a space to its normalized cubical chain complex with coefficients inR.
Main results #
TauCeti.NormalizedCubicalChain.exists_boundary_eq_of_isZero_homology: if the normalized cubical homology vanishes in dimensionn + 1, every(n + 1)-cycle is a boundary.
