Singular chain complex of balanced products
Let $\pi\subseteq\Sigma_r$ and $V$ be a right $\pi$-space. We may assume that $V$ is free, if necessary. Consider the morphism of singular chain complexes (over a fixed commutative ring)
$$f:C_*(V) \...

Lift up characteristic class to chain complex
In derived category, there is a slogan, "cohomology is bad, chain complex is good". In the theory of characteristic classes, we could associate a vector bundle to cohomology classes of the base space. ...

Could we extend isomorphisms between cohomologies of h-injective complexes to h-injective complexes themselves?
Let $R$ be an associative ring with unit and $I$ be a complex of $R$-modules. We call $I$ is h-injective if for any acyclic complex $T$ of $R$-modules, the mapping complex $\text{Hom}_R(T,I)$ is ...

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 ...

Two-point desuspension for augmented chain complexes?
Let $X$ be a chain complex augmented over $\mathbf{Z}$ with augmentation $\varepsilon_X:X_0 \to \mathbf{Z}$. We define $[1](X)$ to be the $\mathbf{Z}$-augmented chain complex such that $[1](X)_0 = \...

Extending Reedy dimension to augmented chain complexes of abelian groups
Recall that a normal continuously-graded finite interval is given by a pair $a=([a],f)$ consisting of:
1.) A finite totally ordered set $[a]=[a_0< \dots < a_n]$
2.) A grading function $f:U[a] \...

Relation between different definitions of homotopy
When I did a course in topology, we defined "homotopy" in the following way:
"A homotopy between two continuous functions $f$ and $g$ from a topological space $X$ to a topological space $Y$ is ...

Is any deformation of an acyclic complex gauge equivalent to a trivial one?
This question is related to this question. Let $(C^{\bullet},d)$ be a cochain complex over a field $k$ with char$k$=0. We fix an Artin local $k$-algebra $(A,m)$. A deformation of $d$ is a new operator ...

Homomophism from Koszul complex to the original ring
In an article, I encounter an isomorphism relation as follows:
Let S be a comm. ring, x an element in S. K[x,S] be corresponding Koszul complex. The article says "this is a classical isomorphism":

How does a chain map induce another chain map on an isomorphic chain complex?
I have 2 ways of defining a chain complex on a manifold, one of which is the cellular chain complex, $C^{CW}_*$. I know that a cellular map $f: X^n \rightarrow Y^n $ such that $ f(X^n) \subset Y^n $ ...
