Extension of scalars #
If X is a simplicial set, R₁ →+* R₂ is a morphism of commutative rings,
and M₁ is a R₁-module, then the chain complex of R₂-modules of X with
coefficients in R₂ ⊗[R₁] M₁ identifies to the extensions of scalars of the
chain complex of R₁-modules of X with coefficients in M₁. In this file,
we obtain a formulation of this result where the extension of scalars
functor ModuleCat R₁ ⥤ ModuleCat R₂ is replaced by an arbitrary functor
F : C ⥤ D which commutes with coproducts.
The chain complex functor commutes with the "extension of scalars".
More precisely, if F : C ⥤ D is a functor which commutes with arbitrary coproducts,
R : C and X : SSet, then the chain complex of X with coefficients
in F.obj R is obtained by applying F to the chain complex of X
with coefficients in R.
