Let A be a commutative ring, let C_r be an R-module for r=0, 1, 2, ..., and define a chain complex C__ of the form C__:...|->C_n|->C_(n-1)|->C_(n-2)|->...|->C_2|->C_1|->C_0. ...

Chain equivalences give an equivalence relation on the space of chain homomorphisms. Two chain complexes are chain equivalent if there are chain maps phi:C_*->D_* and ...

Also called a chain map. Given two chain complexes C_* and D_*, a chain homomorphism is given by homomorphisms alpha_i:C_i->D_i such that alpha degreespartial_C=partial_D ...

Suppose alpha:C_*->D_* and beta:C_*->D_* are two chain homomorphisms. Then a chain homotopy is given by a sequence of maps delta_p:C_p->D_(p-1) such that partial_D ...

A change of coordinates matrix, also called a transition matrix, specifies the transformation from one vector basis to another under a change of basis. For example, if ...

Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2000) define the circulant determinant by (1) where omega_j is the nth root of unity. The second-order circulant determinant is |x_1 x_2; x_2 ...

In a cochain complex of modules ...->C^(i-1)->^(d^(i-1))C^i->^(d^i)C^(i+1)->..., the module B^i of i-coboundaries is the image of d^(i-1). It is a submodule of C^i and is ...

Each of the maps of a cochain complex ...->C^(i-1)->^(d^(i-1))C^i->^(d^i)C^(i+1)->... is known as a coboundary operator.

In a cochain complex of modules ...->C^(i-1)->^(d^(i-1))C^i->^(d^i)C^(i+1)->... the module Z^i of i-cocycles Z^i is the kernel of d^i, which is a submodule of C^i.

If the parameters of a Lie group vary over a closed interval, them the Lie group is said to be compact. Every representation of a compact group is equivalent to a unitary ...
