I don't really understand why, but this distinction disappears if you assume $R$ contains $\mathbf Q$. | |
Dec 3, 2021 at 21:21 | comment | added | R. van Dobben de Bruyn | Wedge products of chain complexes are probably not what you hope they are. At least with the usual tensor product, the swap $C^* \otimes D^* \stackrel\sim\to D^* \otimes C^*$ acts as $c \otimes d \mapsto (-1)^{\deg c \deg d}d \otimes c$. A consequence is that $\bigwedge^i(M[1]) = (S^iM)[i]$ for any $R$-module $M$, as the antisymmetriser becomes the symmetriser in odd degree. In particular, $\bigwedge^i C^*$ will not be $0$ for $i \gg 0$ in general. | |
