From simplicial to cubical chains with local coefficients #
The comparison TauCeti.singularToCubical of the simplicial singular chains with the normalized
cubical chains is natural, and the model Δⁿ is contractible, so it extends to chains with local
coefficients exactly as the comparison in the other direction does
(TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.twistedCubicalToSingularMap). For a singular n-simplex σ of
X and a coefficient a in the fibre at its initial vertex, the image is the twisted cubical
pushforward (TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.NormalizedTwistedCubicalChain.pushforward) along
σ, regarded as a map from the model, of the image TauCeti.singularToCubicalGen n of the
identity simplex of the model, with the coefficient a at the initial vertex of the model.
The decisive property is the compatibility with pushforwards from simply connected spaces
(TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.twistedSingularToCubical_twistedPushforward): the comparison
carries the simplicial pushforward of a chain of a simply connected space Z to the cubical
pushforward of its image. Every simplex with a coefficient is such a pushforward from a standard
simplex, so identities between natural maps reduce, generator by generator, to the model, where
they are the untwisted ones. Here this gives the chain map property. The analogous
compatibility of the comparison in the other direction is
TauCeti.LocalCoefficientSystem.normalizedTwistedCubicalToSingular_pushforward.
