Singular chains with local coefficients #

A local coefficient system L on a space X is a functor from its fundamental groupoid to modules, so it assigns a module to every point and a transport isomorphism to every path class. Twisting the singular chain complex by L replaces the free module on the singular n-simplices by the coproduct, over singular n-simplices σ, of the fibre of L at the initial vertex of σ. Reindexing a simplex moves its initial vertex inside the simplex, so the structure maps of the resulting simplicial module also transport the coefficients along the image of a path joining the old initial vertex to the new one.

The topological simplex is simply connected, so that path class, and hence the transport, is determined by its endpoints alone. This is what makes the simplicial identities hold: a composite of transports is again the transport between its endpoints, and the boundary of a twisted chain complex therefore squares to zero for the same formal reason as in the untwisted case.

For a constant system the twisting is trivial and the construction returns Mathlib's singular chain complex, while a continuous map f : X ⟶ Y induces a chain map from the chains of X twisted by the system pulled back along f.

      Transports inside a simplex compose: running from z to w and then from w to y is running from z to y.

      Transport inside a simplex may be moved along an equality of its target point.

      Transport inside a reindexed simplex is transport inside the original simplex, between the images of the two points under the reindexing.

      Pushing a singular simplex forward along a continuous map carries transport inside it to transport inside the image simplex.

      The transport from the initial vertex of a singular m-simplex σ to the initial vertex of the singular n-simplex obtained from σ by reindexing along α.

      Instances For

        Reindexing along an identity does not move the initial vertex, so the transport it induces is the canonical identification of the two coefficient modules.

        Reindexing along a composite induces the composite of the two vertex transports, up to the canonical identification of the two resulting simplices.

        The simplicial object of singular chains of X twisted by the local coefficient system L. In degree n it is the coproduct, over the singular n-simplices σ of X, of the fibre of L at the initial vertex of σ; a reindexing acts on the summands by transport along the initial vertices.
