View on Github →feat(algebraic_topology): the Moore complex of a simplicial object (#6308)
Moore complex
We construct the normalized Moore complex, as a functor
simplicial_object C ⥤ chain_complex C ℕ
,
for any abelian category C
.
The n
-th object is intersection of
the kernels of X.δ i : X.obj n ⟶ X.obj (n-1)
, for i = 1, ..., n
.
The differentials are induced from X.δ 0
,
which maps each of these intersections of kernels to the next.
This functor is one direction of the Dold-Kan equivalence, which we're still working towards.
