Behaviour of P_infty with respect to degeneracies #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
For any X : simplicial_object C
where C
is an abelian category,
the projector P_infty : K[X] ⟶ K[X]
is supposed to be the projection
on the normalized subcomplex, parallel to the degenerate subcomplex, i.e.
the subcomplex generated by the images of all X.σ i
.
In this file, we obtain degeneracy_comp_P_infty
which states that
if X : simplicial_object C
with C
a preadditive category,
θ : [n] ⟶ Δ'
is a non injective map in simplex_category
, then
X.map θ.op ≫ P_infty.f n = 0
. It follows from the more precise
statement vanishing statement σ_comp_P_eq_zero
for the P q
.
