Bounded-convergence topology of continuous cyclic cochain operators #
The cyclic, Hochschild and mixed-complex operators on jointly continuous multilinear
cochains are continuous for uniform convergence on bounded sets of tuples. We use the
native topology on ContinuousMultilinearMap from Mathlib. By
Bornology.isVonNBounded_pi_iff, bounded sets of tuples are contained in products of
bounded coordinate sets, so this is also uniform convergence on products of bounded sets.
In particular the cyclic Hochschild differential is continuous on the cyclic subspaces with their induced topologies, and pullback of cyclic cochains along a continuous linear map is continuous. These facts apply to locally convex algebras without requiring local convexity, completeness, separation, a norm on the algebra, or closed differential ranges. Multiplication must be jointly continuous. The operators are defined on the naive cochains of a nonunital algebra; no comparison with the relative complex of its forced unitization is asserted here.
