The retraction of cubical chains onto the chains of a compressible subspace #
Let D be a TauCeti.SubspaceCubeDeformation A n: a homotopy of every singular cube c of X,
ending at a cube with values in A ⊆ X when the dimension of c is less than n, compatible with
faces and degeneracies and constant on the cubes that already have values in A. This file turns
D into chain-level data on Massey's normalized cubical chains and shows that, for n = ⊤, the
inclusion A → X induces a chain homotopy equivalence of normalized cubical chains.
- The end of the homotopy of
cis a cubeD.endCube cofX. It commutes with faces and preserves degeneracies, so it induces a chain endomorphismD.endChainMap Rof the normalized cubical chains ofX. It fixes the chains pushed forward intoA, and below dimensionnit carries every chain into them. - The homotopy of
c, with time as the first coordinate, sweeps out the cubeD.sweep cof one dimension more. Its first two faces arecandD.endCube c, and its other faces are the swept faces ofc. The negative swept-cube operatorD.prismChain Rtherefore satisfies∂ P + P ∂ = ε - idfor the endεof the deformation, so the swept-cube operator-D.prismChain Ris a chain homotopyD.endHomotopy Rfrom the identity toD.endChainMap R. It kills the chains ofA, whose deformations are constant. - For
n = ⊤, the end of the homotopy ofcis a cubeD.retract cofA, which induces a chain mapD.retractChainMap Rfrom the normalized cubical chains ofXto those ofA. As the homotopy of a cube ofAis constant, this chain map is a left inverse of the chain map induced by the inclusion, on the nose, and its composite with the inclusion isD.endChainMap R.
Through the comparison of cubical and simplicial singular chains, for n = ⊤ the inclusion of A
then induces isomorphisms on singular homology with coefficients in any ring
(TauCeti.SubspaceCubeDeformation.isIso_singularHomologyMap). By the compression lemma this
applies as soon as every point of X is joined by a path to A and all relative homotopy sets
π_{k+1}(X, A, a) vanish
(TauCeti.isIso_singularHomologyMap_subtypeVal_of_relHomotopyGroup). For the inclusion of the
bottom of the mapping cylinder of a weak homotopy equivalence, this gives the invariance of
normalized cubical chains under weak homotopy equivalences (Hatcher, Proposition 4.21), proved as
ContinuousMap.IsWeakHomotopyEquivalence.quasiIso_normalizedCubicalChainComplex_map.
