Continuity of the rational-localization Čech complex #
The augmentation and differentials of the algebraic Čech complex are continuous for the natural
module topologies over the uncompleted rational localizations. Consequently they extend to the
separated completions of this topologised algebraic complex. These give the maps of Huber's
analytic Čech complex for M = B; for finite M over a ring with a noetherian ring of definition,
identifying the completed terms with Huber's terms requires a comparison not proved here.
No finiteness, completeness or noetherian hypothesis is needed for continuity.
The topology on a face depends on its cardinality: deleting a vertex changes both the denominator
and the numerator family. The restriction is continuous because multiplying the old numerators
by the deleted vertex gives numerators for the larger face. The module restriction then follows
by extending scalars on TauCeti.cechLocalizationRestriction using Mathlib’s
LinearMap.extendScalarsOfIsLocalization.
