Contractions of inhomogeneous cochains from operators lowering the degree #
Let A be a k-linear representation of a group G, and let
h n : Cⁿ⁺¹(G, A) → Cⁿ(G, A) be linear maps between the inhomogeneous cochains satisfying
$$h \circ d = d \circ h + (-1)^n \text{ on } (n + 1)\text{-cochains}, \qquad h \circ d = P - 1 \text{ on } 0\text{-cochains}$$
for an endomorphism P of the 0-cochains. The maps (-1)^(n+1) • h n then satisfy the
sign-free identities of CochainComplex.homotopyOfDCompEq. So P is a cochain map when placed in
degree 0 (TauCeti.groupCohomology.comp_d_zero_eq_zero), and the maps (-1)^(n+1) • h n form a
homotopy from the identity of inhomogeneousCochains A to it. Every positive-degree cocycle f is
the coboundary of (-1)^(n+1) h f.
This is the formal part shared by the contractions that insert a last argument: averaging over a
finite group (TauCeti.inhomogeneousCochains.averageLast) and weighting by a cutoff function
(TauCeti.inhomogeneousCochains.cutoffLast).

TauCeti.inhomogeneousCochains.d_smul_of_d_comp_eq: the explicit primitive of a positive-degree cocycle.TauCeti.groupCohomology.homotopyOfDCompEq: the homotopy from the identity toPplaced in degree0byCochainComplex.ofDegreeZero.
The explicit primitive of a positive-degree cocycle. If h ∘ d = d ∘ h + (-1)^n on
(n + 1)-cochains, then an (n + 1)-cocycle f is the coboundary of (-1)^(n+1) • h f.
If h ∘ d = d ∘ h + (-1)^n on positive-degree cochains and h ∘ d = P - 1 on
0-cochains, then the composite of P with the differential vanishes.
The contraction defined by an operator lowering the degree. If
h ∘ d = d ∘ h + (-1)^n on (n + 1)-cochains and h ∘ d = P - 1 on 0-cochains, then the
identity of the complex of inhomogeneous cochains is homotopic to P placed in degree 0,
through the homotopy whose component from degree n + 1 to degree n is (-1)^(n+1) • h n
(TauCeti.groupCohomology.homotopyOfDCompEq_hom_succ).
Instances For
The component of TauCeti.groupCohomology.homotopyOfDCompEq from degree n + 1 to degree
n is (-1)^(n+1) • h n.
