Cubical chains on a space with a right action of a topological monoid #
Let G be a topological monoid acting continuously and strictly on a space Y from the right,
written y · g = op g • y. The action Y × G → Y and the cross product of normalized cubical
chains give a right action of the Pontryagin algebra on the chains of Y:
c · a := act_* (c × a) : C^□_{p + q}(Y; R) for c ∈ C^□_p(Y; R) and a ∈ C^□_q(G; R). It is
strictly associative and unital, and the boundary is a derivation for it with the Koszul sign.
Hence ⨁ n, C^□_n(Y; R), with C^□_n in cohomological degree -n, is a differential graded
right module over the DG algebra ⨁ n, C^□_n(G; R) of
TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.Singular.Cubical.MonoidAlgebra.DGAlgebra.
An equivariant continuous map Y → Y' induces a morphism of these DG right modules, functorially.
The module TauCeti.cubicalChainModule Y G R is a one-field wrapper around
normalizedCubicalChainAlgebra Y R, linearly equivalent to it
(TauCeti.cubicalChainModuleEquiv): for Y = G acting on itself by right multiplication, the
algebra already acts on itself, and the wrapper keeps the two actions apart.

The right action of G on Y as a continuous map Y × G → Y, (y, g) ↦ op g • y.
Instances For
The action of chains on G on chains on Y: c · a = act_* (c × a).
Instances For
The action is the push-forward of the cross product along the action map.
The Leibniz rule for the action: for c of degree p + 1 and a of degree q + 1,
∂ (c · a) = ∂ c · a + (-1) ^ (p + 1) • (c · ∂ a), in degree p + q + 1.
The Leibniz rule for the action of a 0-chain.
The Leibniz rule for the action on a 0-chain.
Pushing forward along an equivariant map commutes with the action.
Strict associativity of the action, after the reindexing (p + q) + r = p + (q + r):
(c · a) · b = c · (a b).
The unit acts trivially, after the reindexing p + 0 = p.
The unit law in simp normal form: since p + 0 reduces to p, no reindexing is needed.
The DG right module of cubical chains of a space Y with a right action of G: the direct
sum ⨁ n, C^□_n(Y; R), acted on by the chains of G. It is a one-field wrapper around
normalizedCubicalChainAlgebra Y R rather than that type itself: for Y = G acting on itself the
algebra already acts on itself, and the wrapper keeps the two actions apart. The monoid G is a
phantom parameter, recording which action is meant.
