Definition 14.5.1. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a category.

  1. A cosimplicial object $U$ of $\mathcal{C}$ is a covariant functor $U$ from $\Delta $ to $\mathcal{C}$, in a formula:

    \[ U : \Delta \longrightarrow \mathcal{C} \]
  2. If $\mathcal{C}$ is the category of sets, then we call $U$ a cosimplicial set.

  3. If $\mathcal{C}$ is the category of abelian groups, then we call $U$ a cosimplicial abelian group.

  4. A morphism of cosimplicial objects $U \to U'$ is a transformation of functors.

  5. The category of cosimplicial objects of $\mathcal{C}$ is denoted $\text{CoSimp}(\mathcal{C})$.
