Construction of the projection P_infty for the Dold-Kan correspondence #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
TODO (@joelriou) continue adding the various files referenced below
In this file, we construct the projection P_infty : K[X] ⟶ K[X] by passing
to the limit the projections P q defined in projections.lean. This
projection is a critical tool in this formalisation of the Dold-Kan correspondence,
because in the case of abelian categories, P_infty corresponds to the
projection on the normalized Moore subcomplex, with kernel the degenerate subcomplex.
(See equivalence.lean for the general strategy of proof of the Dold-Kan equivalence.)
The endomorphism P_infty : K[X] ⟶ K[X] obtained from the P q by passing to the limit.

The endomorphism Q_infty : K[X] ⟶ K[X] obtained from the Q q by passing to the limit.
P_infty induces a natural transformation, i.e. an endomorphism of
the functor alternating_face_map_complex C.

Given an object Y : karoubi (simplicial_object C), this lemma
computes P_infty for the associated object in simplicial_object (karoubi C)
in terms of P_infty for Y.X : simplicial_object C and Y.p.
