Meaning in context

Modules CnC_n and maps dn:Cn→Cn−1d_n:C_n\to C_{n-1} with dn−1dn=0d_{n-1}d_n=0 for every integer nn.

配备降一次指标的模同态且相邻两个微分复合为零的模族。

Example

Z→2Z\mathbb Z\xrightarrow{2}\mathbb Z in degrees one and zero is a chain complex.

Usage and distinctions

A complex need not be exact; cochain conventions instead raise the index.
