Contractions of graded representations and classes of homogeneous cocycles #
Let M be a topological representation of G with a ℤ-grading ℳ by invariant submodules
and an equivariant differential d of degree one, and let TopRep.gradedCochainComplex be the
cochain complex of TopRep k G they assemble. A contraction of M onto X given on the total
module, that is, an equivariant augmentation ι : X ⟶ M into degree zero, a retraction
π : M → X vanishing in positive degrees and a homotopy h of degree -1 vanishing in degree
zero with
π ∘ ι = 1, d ∘ h + h ∘ d = 1 - ι ∘ π,
where neither π nor h need be equivariant, restricts degree by degree to a
TopRep.ResolutionContraction of that complex onto X (TopRep.ResolutionContraction.ofGraded).
Through the comparison with the coinduced resolution, a cocycle z ∈ ℳ n of M fixed by G
then has a class in Hⁿ(G, X) (TopRep.ResolutionContraction.gradedCohomologyClass).
This is how cocycles written on a total module reach continuous cohomology. Tensor constructions produce their differentials and contractions on a single carrier, and in Evens' multiplicative transfer the norm of a class is the class of the tensor power of a representing cocycle, an invariant cocycle of the tensor-induced total resolution.
The total shifted coinduced resolution X.gradedResolutionTopRep, with its evaluation-at-1
contraction, is the first instance (TopRep.gradedResolutionContraction), and there the class of
a homogeneous cocycle is its class in continuous cohomology
(TopRep.gradedCohomologyClass_gradedResolutionContraction).

The contraction of a graded representation: a contraction of the total module M onto
X restricts to a contraction of the complex TopRep.gradedCochainComplex onto X. The data
are an equivariant augmentation ι into degree zero, a retraction π vanishing in positive
degrees and a homotopy h of degree -1 vanishing in degree zero, with π ∘ ι = 1 and
d ∘ h + h ∘ d = 1 - ι ∘ π; the conjugates of π and h must be jointly continuous, which holds
automatically between smooth discrete representations (TauCeti.IsSmoothDiscrete.continuous_conj).
Instances For
The augmentation of ofGraded is the factorization of ι through the degree-zero term.
The retraction of ofGraded is π on the degree-zero term.
The contracting homotopy of ofGraded is h on each term.
The class of a homogeneous cocycle: a vector z ∈ ℳ n of M fixed by G and killed by
d is an invariant cocycle of TopRep.gradedCochainComplex, and this is its class in Hⁿ(G, X)
through the contraction c.
Instances For
The defining equation of gradedCohomologyClass: it is the class cohomologyClass of the
invariant cocycle given by z.
Cohomologous homogeneous cocycles have the same class: if z - z' is the differential of
a vector y ∈ ℳ n fixed by G, then z and z' have the same class in Hⁿ⁺¹(G, X).
A chain map over the identity preserves classes. Let F : M ⟶ M' be a morphism of degree
zero commuting with the differentials, between graded representations whose complexes are
contracted onto the same X by c and c', and suppose F carries the augmentation of c to
that of c'. Then a homogeneous cocycle z of M fixed by G and its image F z have the same
class in Hⁿ(G, X).
The class of a sum of homogeneous cocycles is the sum of their classes.
The class of the zero cocycle is zero.
The class of a scalar multiple of a homogeneous cocycle is the scalar multiple of its class.
The class of a degree-zero cocycle is the degree-zero class of its retraction: a vector
z ∈ ℳ 0 fixed by G and killed by d has class proj z in H⁰(G, X) = X^G.
Independence of the contraction. Over a locally compact group, two contractions of the complex of a graded representation with the same augmentation give a homogeneous cocycle the same class.

The cochain complex TopRep.gradedCochainComplex of the total shifted coinduced resolution,
whose degree-n term is the copy of C(G, …, C(G, X)) with n + 1 layers.
Instances For

the evaluation-at-1 maps gradedResolutionProjection and gradedResolutionHomotopy.

On the total coinduced resolution, the class of a homogeneous cocycle is its class in
continuous cohomology: a homogeneous cocycle z of degree n, included into the total
resolution, has as class through gradedResolutionContraction the class X.cochainClass n z.
The class of an included homogeneous cocycle, in an equal degree: a vector y of the total
coinduced resolution that is the inclusion of a homogeneous cocycle z of degree n, regarded as
homogeneous of an equal degree k, has as class through gradedResolutionContraction the
transport along n = k of X.cochainClass n z. This reads off classes of cocycles produced in a
degree, such as 1 · n, that equals n but not definitionally.
