From cubical to simplicial chains with local coefficients #
The comparison TauCeti.cubicalToSingular of the normalized cubical chains with the simplicial
singular chains is natural, and the model Iⁿ is contractible. A local system is trivialized on
a contractible space, so the comparison extends to chains with local coefficients by transporting
the coefficient inside the model. For a singular n-cube c of X and a coefficient
a ∈ L(c 0), the image is the twisted pushforward
(TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.twistedPushforward) along c, regarded as a map from the model,
of the image y_n of the identity cube of the model (TauCeti.cubicalToSingularGen), with the
coefficient a at the origin of the model.
The key formula (TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.twistedCubicalToSingular_ofSubcube) gives the
image of a subcube c ∘ ι of c, with its transported coefficient, as the pushforward along c
of the image of the subcube upCube ∘ ι of the model. It shows that degenerate cubes go to zero,
because the comparison is defined on normalized chains, and that the boundary is respected, because
the comparison is a chain map and the boundary of a cube is an alternating sum of subcubes.
The resulting chain map TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.twistedCubicalToSingularMap L from the
normalized cubical chain complex with coefficients in L to
TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.twistedChainComplex L is natural in the space and in the local
system.
