The total complex of the cyclic bicomplex #
For an R-algebra A and an R-module M, write C^q for the M-valued multilinear maps in
q + 1 arguments on A. Connes' cyclic bicomplex has the module C^q in every column p of
row q. Its horizontal differentials C^q → C^q alternate between 1 - λ (out of even columns)
and the cyclic norm N (out of odd columns). Its vertical differentials C^q → C^(q+1) alternate
between the Hochschild coboundary b (in even columns) and -b' (in odd columns), where b' is
the bar coboundary. The relations (1 - λ) b = b' (1 - λ) and b N = N b' make adjacent squares
anticommute, so the sum of the two differentials squares to zero on the total complex.
The degree-m term of the total complex is ⊕_{p + q = m} C^q. Here it is the submodule
cyclicTotalCochains R A M m of families (x_q)_{q ∈ ℕ} with x_q ∈ C^q and x_q = 0 for
q > m; the component x_q sits in column m - q. Indexing by rows avoids natural-number
subtraction in the types of the components.
Column zero is the Hochschild cochain complex, and the kernel of its outgoing horizontal map
1 - λ is the module of cyclic cochains. Hence including a cyclic cochain into column zero gives a
cochain map cyclicCochainComplexToTotal R A M from Connes' cyclic cochain complex to the total
complex. When q + 1 is invertible in R, the rows of the bicomplex are exact away from column
zero (TauCeti.RingTheory.CyclicCohomology.RowExactness), and this cochain map is a
quasi-isomorphism. So over a ring containing ℚ, cyclic cohomology defined by cyclic cochains is
the cohomology of the total cyclic bicomplex.
The total cochain modules require only additive commutative monoids of coefficients. Constructing
the total differential and its compatibility with cyclic cochains uses bilinear multiplication on
A; associativity is needed for the total differential to square to zero.

The differentials of the cyclic bicomplex #
The horizontal differential of the cyclic bicomplex out of column p in row q: 1 - λ
out of an even column and the cyclic norm N out of an odd column.
Instances For
Out of an even column the horizontal differential is 1 - λ.
Out of an odd column the horizontal differential is the cyclic norm N.
The horizontal differentials are periodic of period two in the column.
Two consecutive horizontal differentials compose to zero: N (1 - λ) = 0 = (1 - λ) N.
Two consecutive horizontal differentials compose to zero, on elements.
When q + 1 is invertible, the rows of the cyclic bicomplex are exact away from column zero:
the image of the horizontal differential into column p + 1 is the kernel of the one out of it.
The vertical differential of the cyclic bicomplex in column p out of row q: the
Hochschild coboundary b in an even column and minus the bar coboundary, -b', in an odd
column.
Instances For
In an even column the vertical differential is the Hochschild coboundary b.
In an odd column the vertical differential is -b'.
The vertical differentials are periodic of period two in the column.
Adjacent squares of the cyclic bicomplex anticommute: going right then up is minus going up
then right. In even columns this is (1 - λ) b = b' (1 - λ), in odd columns b N = N b'.
Adjacent squares of the cyclic bicomplex anticommute, on elements.
Two consecutive vertical differentials compose to zero: b ∘ b = 0 and b' ∘ b' = 0.

The total complex #
The degree-m term ⊕_{p + q = m} C^q of the total complex of the cyclic bicomplex: the

row q, in column m - q, to the horizontal differential of the component in row q + 1.
