ChainComplexes

Overview

A package for working with chain complexes over the finite field with two elements and their morphisms.

The homology groups of chain complexes can be calculated and whether a morphism of chain complexes is a quasi-isomorphism.

The type ChainComplex{T} contains a single field differentials, a vector of matrices of type T. The ith element of the differentials field represents the ith differential in the chain complex.

The type AlignedChainComplex{T} can be constructed from a ChainComplex{T} type. It finds a filtered basis for each underlying vector space of the chain complex such that the differentials of this chain complex can be written in block form:

and thus the ith Betti number can be found by the number of zero columns of the ith differential minus the number of non-zero rows of the (i-1)th differential.
