Moore complex #

We construct the normalized Moore complex, as a functor simplicial_object C ⥤ chain_complex C ℕ, for any abelian category C.

The n-th object is intersection of the kernels of X.δ i : X.obj n ⟶ X.obj (n-1), for i = 1, ..., n.

The differentials are induced from X.δ 0, which maps each of these intersections of kernels to the next.

This functor is one direction of the Dold-Kan equivalence, which we're still working towards.
