cohomological complex of topological vector spaces

Definition 0.1.

A cohomological complex of topological vector spaces is a pair $(E^{\bullet },d)$ where $(E^{\bullet }={(E^q)}_{q\in Z}$ is a sequence of topological vector spaces and $d={(d^q)}_{q\in Z}$ is a sequence of continuous linear maps $d^q$ from $E^q$ into $E^{q+1}$ which satisfy $d^q\circ d^{q+1}=0$.

Remarks

• The dual complex of a cohomological complex $(E^{\bullet },d)$ of topological vector spaces is the homological complex $(E_{\bullet }^{\prime },d^{\prime })$ (http://planetmath.org/HomologicalComplexOfTopologicalVectorSpaces), where $(E_{\bullet }^{\prime }={(E_q^{\prime })}_{q\in Z}$ with $E_q^{\prime }$ being the strong dual of $E^q$ and $d^{\prime }={(d_q^{\prime })}_{q\in Z}$ , and also with $d_q^{\prime }$ being the transpose map of $d^q$.

• A cohomological complex of topological vector spaces (TVS) is a specific case of a cochain complex, which is the dual of the concept of chain complex.
