The singular chain complex functor with integer coefficients, X ↦ S_*(X; ℤ),
as a functor from topological spaces to non-negatively graded chain complexes of
abelian groups. This is the ambient functor on which the subdivision operator acts.
Instances For
The barycenter of the standard n-simplex Δ^n: the point all of whose
barycentric coordinates equal 1/(n+1). This is the cone point used in the
subdivision construction of Section 12.
Instances For
Each barycentric coordinate of the barycenter of Δ^n is 1/(n+1).
The standard topological n-simplex Δ^n, viewed as an object of TopCat.
Instances For
The type of singular n-simplices of X, i.e. Sin_n(X), accessed via the
underlying simplicial set of X.
Instances For
The chain group S_n(X; ℤ) is definitionally the coproduct of copies of ℤ
indexed by singular n-simplices, exhibiting it as the free abelian group on
Sin_n(X) (Definition 1.3).
The identity map Δ^n → Δ^n viewed as a singular n-simplex of Δ^n. This is
the universal n-simplex ι_n on which the subdivision construction is built.
Instances For
The set-level cone construction b * τ taking a (k+1)-simplex of Δ^n. Given
a cone point b ∈ Δ^n and a k-simplex τ : Δ^k → Δ^n, this sends a point
x = (t₀, t₁, …, t_{k+1}) of Δ^{k+1} to the linear interpolation
t₀ · b + (1 - t₀) · τ(x₁, …, x_{k+1}) after renormalizing the tail.
Instances For
The cone map coneSingularSimplexFun b τ : Δ^{k+1} → Δ^n is continuous.
The cone b * τ : Δ^{k+1} → Δ^n of a singular k-simplex τ of Δ^n over the
cone point b, as a morphism in TopCat.
Instances For
The cone operator b * (-) : S_k(Δ^n) → S_{k+1}(Δ^n) sending each generator τ
to its cone b * τ over the chosen cone point b ∈ Δ^n, extended linearly.
Instances For
The chain 1 · σ ∈ S_n(X) associated to a singular simplex σ, viewed as a free
generator in the coproduct representation of the singular chain group.
Instances For
Push forward a chain elem ∈ S_k(Δ^k) along a singular k-simplex σ : Δ^k → X
to obtain a chain in S_k(X).
Instances For
Endomorphism of S_k(X) built from a chosen element elem ∈ S_k(Δ^k): on each
generator σ it returns the pushforward σ_*(elem). This is the abstract pattern
used to define the subdivision operator from its values on the universal simplex.
Instances For
The subdivision $ι_n ∈ S_n(Δ^n) of the universal n-simplex, defined recursively:
in degree 0 it is the identity simplex, and in degree n + 1 it is the cone
from the barycenter over the subdivision of the boundary d ι_{n+1}. This is the
inductive definition driving the construction of the subdivision operator
of Proposition 12.1.
Instances For
The subdivision element $ι_n, packaged as the group homomorphism ℤ → S_n(Δ^n)
sending 1 to $ι_n.
Instances For
The component of the subdivision operator on the free generator indexed by σ:
it sends the generator to σ_*($ι_n) ∈ S_n(X).
Instances For
The subdivision operator $ : S_n(X) → S_n(X) in degree n, assembled from its
components on free generators via the coproduct universal property.
Instances For
The subdivision operator commutes with the boundary on S_*(Δ^n); that is, on the
standard simplex it is a chain map. This standard-simplex case is the seed from
which the general chain-map property is bootstrapped by naturality.
The subdivision operator $ commutes with the boundary on S_*(X) for any
topological space X, so it is a chain map. This is the chain-map half of
Proposition 12.1, deduced from the standard-simplex case by naturality.
The subdivision chain map $ : S_*(X) → S_*(X), assembled from the degreewise
maps sdDegreeMap X n together with the boundary-commutation theorem. This is
the chain map of Proposition 12.1 for a fixed space X.
Instances For
Naturality of the subdivision chain map in X: for f : X → Y, the squares
f_* ∘ $_X = $_Y ∘ f_* commute. This is the naturality assertion of
Proposition 12.1.
The subdivision operator as a natural transformation $ : S_* ⟹ S_* of singular
chain complex functors. This is the natural chain map of Proposition 12.1.
Instances For
Push forward a chain elem ∈ S_{k+1}(Δ^k) along a singular k-simplex
σ : Δ^k → X to obtain a chain in S_{k+1}(X). Used in the construction of
the chain homotopy.
Instances For
Degree-raising map S_k(X) → S_{k+1}(X) built from a chosen element
elem ∈ S_{k+1}(Δ^k): on each generator σ it returns σ_*(elem). This is the
abstract pattern used to build the chain homotopy.
Instances For
The element T_n ∈ S_{n+1}(Δ^n) defining the chain homotopy on the universal
n-simplex, constructed recursively: zero in degree 0, and in degree n + 1
the cone from the barycenter over $ι_{n+1} - ι_{n+1} - T(dι_{n+1}). This is
the standard inductive recipe yielding dh + hd = $ - 1.
Instances For
The chain-homotopy element T_n, packaged as the group homomorphism
ℤ → S_{n+1}(Δ^n) sending 1 to T_n.
Instances For
The component of the chain homotopy on the free generator indexed by σ: it sends
the generator to σ_*(T_n) ∈ S_{n+1}(X).
Instances For
The chain homotopy h : S_n(X) → S_{n+1}(X) in degree n, assembled from its
components on the free generators of S_n(X).
Instances For
The chain homotopy assembled into the family of maps required by Mathlib's
Homotopy structure: it equals sdHomotopyDegreeMap (up to a degree cast) when
j = i + 1 and is zero otherwise.
Instances For
Outside the relevant degree shift the chain homotopy vanishes.
On the standard simplex Δ^i, the chain homotopy identity $ = dh + hd + id holds
in degree i. This is the seed case from which the general identity is bootstrapped
by naturality.
The chain homotopy identity $ = dh + hd + id in every degree on S_*(X) for any
topological space X. This is the chain-homotopy half of Proposition 12.1:
$ is chain-homotopic to the identity.
The chain homotopy h : $ ≃ id on S_*(X), packaged as a Homotopy between the
subdivision operator and the identity chain map. This is the explicit witness
behind Proposition 12.1.
Instances For
Proposition 12.1: the subdivision operator $ on S_*(X) is chain-homotopic to
the identity.
Naturality of the chain-homotopy degree map in X: f_* ∘ h_X = h_Y ∘ f_* for
every continuous map f : X → Y. This makes the chain homotopy from
Proposition 12.1 natural in the space.
