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.
