Barycentric subdivision as a chain map #
This file packages the degree-wise barycentric subdivision maps
barycentricSubdivisionLinearMap R X n into a single morphism of chain
complexes from the singular chain complex of X to itself.
The chain-map condition is exactly the boundary-commutation identity
barycentricSubdivisionLinearMap_commutes_boundary proved earlier.
Main results #
barycentricSubdivisionChainMap: the chain mapsingularChainComplex R X ⟶ singularChainComplex R X;barycentricSubdivisionChainMap_f_n: its degree-ncomponent is the previously defined degree-wise mapbarycentricSubdivisionLinearMap R X n;barycentricSubdivisionChainMap_map_generator: on a basis generator[σ]the chain map gives the signed subdivision sumbarycentricSubdivisionGenerator R X n σ.
The singular chain complex C_•(X; R) of X with coefficients in R,
specialized to coefficients R as a module over itself. This is the actual
project object underlying singularChainGroup, singularBoundary and
barycentricSubdivisionLinearMap.

Barycentric subdivision as a chain map. The degree-wise subdivision maps
barycentricSubdivisionLinearMap R X n assemble into a morphism of chain
complexes singularChainComplex R X ⟶ singularChainComplex R X. The chain-map
condition is the boundary commutation
barycentricSubdivisionLinearMap_commutes_boundary.
