25 Simplicial groups

 NerveOfCatOneGroup(G,n) Inputs a cat-1-group G and a positive integer n. It returns the low-dimensional part of the nerve of G as a simplicial group of length n. This function applies both to cat-1-groups for which IsHapCatOneGroup(G) is true, and to cat-1-groups produced using the Xmod package. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. EilenbergMacLaneSimplicialGroup(G,n,dim) Inputs a group G, a positive integer n, and a positive integer dim. The function returns the first 1+dim terms of a simplicial group with n-1st homotopy group equal to G and all other homotopy groups equal to zero. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. EilenbergMacLaneSimplicialGroupMap(f,n,dim) Inputs a group homomorphism f:G→ Q, a positive integer n, and a positive integer dim. The function returns the first 1+dim terms of a simplicial group homomorphism f:K(G,n) → K(Q,n) of Eilenberg-MacLane simplicial groups. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. MooreComplex(G) Inputs a simplicial group G and returns its Moore complex as a G-complex. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. ChainComplexOfSimplicialGroup(G) Inputs a simplicial group G and returns the cellular chain complex C of a CW-space X represented by the homotopy type of the simplicial group. Thus the homology groups of C are the integral homology groups of X. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. SimplicialGroupMap(f) Inputs a homomorphism f:G→ Q of simplicial groups. The function returns an induced map f:C(G) → C(Q) of chain complexes whose homology is the integral homology of the simplicial group G and Q respectively. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. HomotopyGroup(G,n) Inputs a simplicial group G and a positive integer n. The integer n must be less than the length of G. It returns, as a group, the (n)-th homology group of its Moore complex. Thus HomotopyGroup(G,0) returns the "fundamental group" of G. Representation of elements in the bar resolution For a group G we denote by B_n(G) the free ZG-module with basis the lists [g_1 | g_2 | ... | g_n] where the g_i range over G. We represent a word w = h_1.[g_11 | g_12 | ... | g_1n] - h_2.[g_21 | g_22 | ... | g_2n] + ... + h_k.[g_k1 | g_k2 | ... | g_kn] in B_n(G) as a list of lists: [ [+1,h_1,g_11 , g_12 , ... , g_1n] , [-1, h_2,g_21 , g_22 , ... | g_2n] + ... + [+1, h_k,g_k1 , g_k2 , ... , g_kn]. BarResolutionBoundary(w) This function inputs a word w in the bar resolution module B_n(G) and returns its image under the boundary homomorphism d_n: B_n(G) → B_n-1(G) in the bar resolution. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. BarResolutionHomotopy(w) This function inputs a word w in the bar resolution module B_n(G) and returns its image under the contracting homotopy h_n: B_n(G) → B_n+1(G) in the bar resolution. This function is currently being implemented by Van Luyen Le. Representation of elements in the bar complex For a group G we denote by BC_n(G) the free abelian group with basis the lists [g_1 | g_2 | ... | g_n] where the g_i range over G. We represent a word w = [g_11 | g_12 | ... | g_1n] - [g_21 | g_22 | ... | g_2n] + ... + [g_k1 | g_k2 | ... | g_kn] in BC_n(G) as a list of lists: [ [+1,g_11 , g_12 , ... , g_1n] , [-1, g_21 , g_22 , ... | g_2n] + ... + [+1, g_k1 , g_k2 , ... , g_kn]. BarComplexBoundary(w) This function inputs a word w in the n-th term of the bar complex BC_n(G) and returns its image under the boundary homomorphism d_n: BC_n(G) → BC_n-1(G) in the bar complex.

It returns the image of w in R_n under a chain equivalence ϕ: B_n(G) → R_n. HE!.psi(n,w) is a function which inputs a non-negative integer n and a word w in R_n. It returns the image of w in B_n(G) under a chain equivalence ψ: R_n → B_n(G). HE!.equiv(n,w) is a function which inputs a non-negative integer n and a word w in B_n(G). It returns the image of w in B_n+1(G) under a ZG-equivariant homomorphism equiv(n,-) : B_n(G) → B_n+1(G) satisfying w - \psi ( \phi (w)) = d(n+1, equiv(n,w)) + equiv(n-1,d(n,w)) . where d(n,-): B_n(G) → B_n-1(G) is the boundary homomorphism in the bar resolution. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. BarComplexEquivalence(R) This function inputs a free ZG-resolution R. It first constructs the chain complex T=TensorWithIntegerts(R). The function returns a component object HE with components HE!.phi(n,w) is a function which inputs a non-negative integer n and a word w in BC_n(G). It returns the image of w in T_n under a chain equivalence ϕ: BC_n(G) → T_n. HE!.psi(n,w) is a function which inputs a non-negative integer n and an element w in T_n. It returns the image of w in BC_n(G) under a chain equivalence ψ: T_n → BC_n(G). HE!.equiv(n,w) is a function which inputs a non-negative integer n and a word w in BC_n(G). It returns the image of w in BC_n+1(G) under a homomorphism equiv(n,-) : BC_n(G) → BC_n+1(G) satisfying w - \psi ( \phi (w)) = d(n+1, equiv(n,w)) + equiv(n-1,d(n,w)) . where d(n,-): BC_n(G) → BC_n-1(G) is the boundary homomorphism in the bar complex. This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le. Representation of elements in the bar cocomplex For a group G we denote by BC^n(G) the free abelian group with basis the lists [g_1 | g_2 | ... | g_n] where the g_i range over G. We represent a word w = [g_11 | g_12 | ... | g_1n] - [g_21 | g_22 | ... | g_2n] + ... + [g_k1 | g_k2 | ... | g_kn] in BC^n(G) as a list of lists: [ [+1,g_11 , g_12 , ... , g_1n] , [-1, g_21 , g_22 , ... | g_2n] + ... + [+1, g_k1 , g_k2 , ... , g_kn].
