The cup product does not see the scalars #
Let P : TopPairing X Y Z be a coefficient pairing of topological representations over a
topological commutative ring R. Forgetting the scalars gives a pairing P.restrictScalarsInt of
the underlying additive representations, with the same underlying biadditive map, and continuous
cohomology does not see the scalars either
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.restrictScalarsIntEquiv). This file proves that the two are compatible
in the bidegrees (1, 1), (0, 2) and (2, 0) of total degree two: the cup product of
P.restrictScalarsInt is the cup product of P, read through restrictScalarsIntEquiv
(TauCeti.TopPairing.cup_one_one_restrictScalarsInt and its companions), and already on cocycles
(TauCeti.TopPairing.cupCocycles_one_one_restrictScalarsInt and its companions). The reason
is that both cup products are the Alexander–Whitney formula on the same iterated function spaces,
and the identification of the cocycles does not change their values.
The consequence this is for: the explicit low-degree cup products of
TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Homological.ContCohomology.Cup.Product, given by cochain formulas on
inhomogeneous cocycles, agree with the canonical cup product of a pairing of discrete
representations over any scalars, under the comparison isomorphisms
TopRep.explicitH1AddEquivContinuousCohomologyOfDiscrete and
TopRep.explicitH2AddEquivContinuousCohomologyOfDiscrete
(TauCeti.TopPairing.cup_one_one_explicitH1AddEquivContinuousCohomologyOfDiscrete). The
agreement for the pairings TauCeti.ofDiscreteModulePairing of discrete ℤ-modules is
TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitAddEquiv_cup11; the statement here removes the restriction to
ℤ, which is what the coefficient objects of the pro-p theory, objects of TopRep (ZMod p) G,
need in order to compute their cup product on explicit cocycles.

A biadditive map with the values of P is equivariant for the actions read off from the
representations.
Under the identification of the underlying additive representation of a discrete X with the
discrete ℤ-module X.V, the pairing of μ on discrete ℤ-modules is the pairing of P with
its scalars forgotten: the three carriers are unchanged by the transports, so this is hμ.
