25 Simplicial groups

25.1  

25.1-1 NerveOfCatOneGroup
‣ NerveOfCatOneGroup( G, n )( function )

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.

Examples: 1 , 2 

25.1-2 EilenbergMacLaneSimplicialGroup
‣ EilenbergMacLaneSimplicialGroup( G, n, dim )( function )

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 \(n-1\)st homotopy group equal to \(G\) and all other homotopy groups equal to zero.

This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le.

Examples: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 

25.1-3 EilenbergMacLaneSimplicialGroupMap
‣ EilenbergMacLaneSimplicialGroupMap( global variable )

Inputs a group homomorphism \(f:G\rightarrow Q\), a positive integer \(n\), and a positive integer \(dim \). The function returns the first \(1+dim\) terms of a simplicial group homomorphism \(f:K(G,n) \rightarrow K(Q,n)\) of Eilenberg-MacLane simplicial groups.

This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le.

Examples:

25.1-4 MooreComplex
‣ MooreComplex( G )( function )

Inputs a simplicial group \(G\) and returns its Moore complex as a \(G\)-complex.

This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le.

Examples:

25.1-5 ChainComplexOfSimplicialGroup
‣ ChainComplexOfSimplicialGroup( G )( function )

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.

Examples: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 

25.1-6 SimplicialGroupMap
‣ SimplicialGroupMap( global variable )

Inputs a homomorphism \(f:G\rightarrow Q\) of simplicial groups. The function returns an induced map \(f:C(G) \rightarrow C(Q)\) 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.

Examples:

25.1-7 HomotopyGroup
‣ HomotopyGroup( G, n )( function )

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 \(G\).

Examples: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 

25.1-8 Representation of elements in the bar resolution

For a group G we denote by \(B_n(G)\) the free \(\mathbb ZG\)-module with basis the lists \([g_1 | g_2 | ... | g_n]\) where the \(g_i\) range over \(G\).

We represent a word

\(w = h_1.[g_{11} | g_{12} | ... | g_{1n}] - h_2.[g_{21} | g_{22} | ... | g_{2n}] + ... + h_k.[g_{k1} | g_{k2} | ... | g_{kn}] \)

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 \(G\).

Examples:

25.1-12 BarComplexBoundary
‣ BarComplexBoundary( global variable )

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 \(d_n\colon BC_n(G) \rightarrow BC_{n-1}(G)\) in the bar complex.

This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le.

Examples:

25.1-13 BarResolutionEquivalence
‣ BarResolutionEquivalence( R )( function )

This function inputs a free \(ZG\)-resolution \(R\). It returns a component object HE with components

This function was implemented by Van Luyen Le.

Examples:

25.1-14 BarComplexEquivalence
‣ BarComplexEquivalence( R )( function )

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

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

\(w = [g_{11} | g_{12} | ... | g_{1n}] - [g_{21} | g_{22} | ... | g_{2n}] + ... + [g_{k1} | g_{k2} | ... | g_{kn}] \)
