TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.Singular.Cubical.ChainComplex

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.

The normalized cubical chain complex of a topological space, with coefficients in R.

Instances For

    The normalized cubical chain complex functor, with coefficients in R.

    Instances For

      The concrete identification of a term of the normalized cubical chain complex with the corresponding module of normalized cubical chains.

        @[simp]

        The concrete identification of a chain-complex term acts as the identity on elements.

        @[simp]

        The inverse concrete identification acts as the identity on normalized cubical chains.

        Under the concrete identification, the chain-complex differential is the cubical boundary.

        In each degree, the map of normalized cubical chain complexes induced by a map of spaces is the push-forward of normalized cubical chains.

        Under the concrete term identifications, a map of cubical complexes is the push-forward of normalized chains.

        The terms of the normalized cubical chain complex are projective modules.

        If the normalized cubical homology of X vanishes in dimension n + 1, every normalized cubical (n + 1)-cycle of X is a boundary.
