Lemma 60.16.1. Let $A_*$ be a cosimplicial ring. Let $\varphi _*, \psi _* : K_* \to M_*$ be homomorphisms of cosimplicial $A_*$-modules.

  1. If $\varphi _*$ and $\psi _*$ are homotopic, then

    \[ \varphi _* \otimes 1, \psi _* \otimes 1 : K_* \otimes _{A_*} L_* \longrightarrow M_* \otimes _{A_*} L_* \]

    are homotopic for any cosimplicial $A_*$-module $L_*$.

  2. If $\varphi _*$ and $\psi _*$ are homotopic, then

    \[ \wedge ^ i(\varphi _*), \wedge ^ i(\psi _*) : \wedge ^ i(K_*) \longrightarrow \wedge ^ i(M_*) \]

    are homotopic.

  3. If $\varphi _*$ and $\psi _*$ are homotopic, and $A_* \to B_*$ is a homomorphism of cosimplicial rings, then

    \[ \varphi _* \otimes 1, \psi _* \otimes 1 : K_* \otimes _{A_*} B_* \longrightarrow M_* \otimes _{A_*} B_* \]

    are homotopic as homomorphisms of cosimplicial $B_*$-modules.

  4. If $I_* \subset A_*$ is a cosimplicial ideal, then the induced maps

    \[ \varphi ^\wedge _*, \psi ^\wedge _* : K_*^\wedge \longrightarrow M_*^\wedge \]

    between completions are homotopic.

  5. Add more here as needed, for example symmetric powers.

Proof. Let $h : M_* \longrightarrow \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits (\Delta [1], N_*)$ be the given homotopy. In degree $n$ we have

\[ h_ n = (h_{n, \alpha }) : K_ n \longrightarrow \prod \nolimits _{\alpha \in \Delta [1]_ n} K_ n \]

see Simplicial, Section 14.28. In order for a collection of $h_{n, \alpha }$ to form a homotopy, it is necessary and sufficient if for every $f : [n] \to [m]$ we have

\[ h_{m, \alpha } \circ M_*(f) = N_*(f) \circ h_{n, \alpha \circ f} \]

see Simplicial, Equation (14.28.1.1). We also should have that $\psi _ n = h_{n, 0 : [n] \to [1]}$ and $\varphi _ n = h_{n, 1 : [n] \to [1]}$.

In each of the cases of the lemma we can produce the corresponding maps. Case (1). We can use the homotopy $h \otimes 1$ defined in degree $n$ by setting

\[ (h \otimes 1)_{n, \alpha } = h_{n, \alpha } \otimes 1_{L_ n} : K_ n \otimes _{A_ n} L_ n \longrightarrow M_ n \otimes _{A_ n} L_ n. \]

Case (2). We can use the homotopy $\wedge ^ ih$ defined in degree $n$ by setting

\[ \wedge ^ i(h)_{n, \alpha } = \wedge ^ i(h_{n, \alpha }) : \wedge _{A_ n}(K_ n) \longrightarrow \wedge ^ i_{A_ n}(M_ n). \]

Case (3). We can use the homotopy $h \otimes 1$ defined in degree $n$ by setting

\[ (h \otimes 1)_{n, \alpha } = h_{n, \alpha } \otimes 1 : K_ n \otimes _{A_ n} B_ n \longrightarrow M_ n \otimes _{A_ n} B_ n. \]

Case (4). We can use the homotopy $h^\wedge $ defined in degree $n$ by setting

\[ (h^\wedge )_{n, \alpha } = h_{n, \alpha }^\wedge : K_ n^\wedge \longrightarrow M_ n^\wedge . \]

This works because each $h_{n, \alpha }$ is $A_ n$-linear. $\square$
