The constant-system comparison for relative singular homology #
The comparison of relative twisted chains with ordinary relative singular chains commutes with maps of pairs and changes of the coefficient module. It identifies the short exact sequences of chains, and hence the connecting maps in the long exact sequences, with no change of sign. These identities allow calculations with ordinary relative homology to be used in the local-coefficient theory.
The restriction and pullback of a constant system are identified with the constant system
by LocalCoefficientSystem.pullbackConstantIso. In particular, the pair-map square retains
the coefficient comparison on its source rather than treating pullback as a strict equality.
