Simplicial homology #

In this file, we define the homology of simplicial sets. For any preadditive category C with coproducts of size w and any object R : C, the simplicial chain complex of a simplicial set X is denoted X.chainComplex R, and its homology in degree n : ℕ is X.homology R n.

The chain complex associated to a simplicial set, with coefficients in R : C. It computes the simplicial homology of a simplicial sets with coefficients in R. One can recover the ordinary simplicial chain complex when C := Ab and X := ℤ.
