Transport along equalities of degrees in the homogeneous cochain complex #
Mathlib's HomologicalComplex.XIsoOfEq transports an element of a complex along an equality of
degrees. For the coinduced resolution TopRep.resolution X of a topological representation and
for its complex of homogeneous cochains TopRep.homogeneousCochains X, this file records how such
a transport is read: evaluating a transported element of the resolution at a point of the group is
the transported value one degree down, and the transport of a homogeneous cochain is, on the
underlying element of the resolution, the transport one degree up. Both rules are used wherever
two constructions land in degrees that are equal but not definitionally so, as for the total
degree m + n of a cup product built by recursion on m. On continuous cohomology the transport
is degreeCast, the isomorphism continuousCohomology n X ≅ continuousCohomology k X along an
equality n = k, and a cocycle that is the transport of another has the transported class
(π_eq_degreeCast_π).

TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.degreeCast: transport of continuous cohomology along an equality of degrees.TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.cocyclesDegreeCast: transport of cocycles along an equality of degrees.
Evaluating a transported element of the resolution at a point of G is the transported value,
one degree down.
Transport along an equality of degrees in the complex of homogeneous cochains is transport along the corresponding equality in the resolution, one degree up.
Transport of continuous cohomology along an equality of degrees: the isomorphism
continuousCohomology n X ≅ continuousCohomology k X induced by n = k. It plays for continuous
cohomology the role that HomologicalComplex.XIsoOfEq plays for the objects of a complex, and is
needed wherever two constructions land in degrees that are equal but not definitionally so, as
0 + n and n.

Transport along n = n is the identity.
The inverse of a transport is the transport along the reversed equality.
Transport along an equality of degrees does not change a class, read as an element of a possibly different type.
Two successive transports are the transport along the composite equality.
Two successive transports are the transport along the composite equality.
Transport of cocycles along an equality of degrees.

Instances For
The underlying cochain of a transported cocycle is the corresponding transport in the homogeneous cochain complex.
Transport of a class along an equality of degrees. If the cocycle z' of degree k is,
as a homogeneous cochain, the transport of the cocycle z of degree n along n = k, then the
class of z' is the transport of the class of z.
The class of a transported cocycle is the transport of its class.
