Multiplicative structure on Čech–Alexander complexes

I have the following basic question on Čech–Alexander complexes. Let $R$ be a ring and $A$ be an $R$-algebra. To this datum one can attach a cosimplicial ring which assigns to an object $[n]=\{0,1,\...

Homotopy totalization and chains - reference

Simple case. Take $X_{\bullet}$ a cosimplicial space. Is it true that the chain complex of its homotopy totalization is quasi-isomorphic to the homotopy totalization of its chain complex? Because of ...

Monoidal structure on simplical model category of chain complexes

For $k$ a field (the case I am interested in, but the question makes sense over any dga), $\mathrm{Ch}_\bullet(k)$ its projective model category of unbounded chain complexes (here), $\mathrm{sCh}_\...

Dold-Kan preserves weak equivalences and fibrations

It's well known that Dold-Kan correspondence is an isomorphism between simplicial vector spaces and non-negative chain complexes of vector spaces. Moreover, weak equivalences and fibrations are ...

how to make the category of chain complexes into an $(\infty,1)$-category

Related to this question, I would like to know, if there is an explicit presentation of the $(\infty,1)$-category of a model category of abelian chain complexes, but this time in terms of simplicial ...

What are normalized singular chains good for?

One of the common definitions of homology using the singular chains, i.e. maps from the simplex into your space. The free abelian group on these can be made into a chain complex and one can take the ...
