The cross product of cubical chains #
The cross product of singular cubes (TauCeti.SingularCube.crossProduct) extends bilinearly to
cubical chains,
CubicalChain X R p →ₗ[R] CubicalChain Y R q →ₗ[R] CubicalChain (X × Y) R (p + q). It is natural
in both spaces, and it sends degenerate chains to degenerate chains in each variable, so it
descends to the normalized chains. The boundary is a derivation for it, with the Koszul sign:
∂ (a × b) = ∂ a × b + (-1) ^ p • (a × ∂ b) for a of degree p.
The boundary CubicalChain.boundary X R n is defined on (n + 1)-chains, so the Leibniz rule is
stated for factors of positive degree p + 1 and q + 1, where the product has degree
(p + 1) + (q + 1) = (p + q + 1) + 1 after the reindexing CubicalChain.cast; the two cases where
a factor has degree 0 are stated separately.
