canonicalTruncation(ComplexMap,ZZ,ZZ) -- reducing the number of non-zero terms of a complex

Synopsis

Description

Returns a new complex map which drops (sets to zero) all modules outside the given range in the source, and modifies the ends to preserve homology in the given range. The degree of the map f is used to determine the truncation of the target.

First, we define some non-trivial maps of chain complexes.

We use these maps to illustrate canonical truncation.

There is another type of truncation, naive truncation, which yields a short exact sequence of complexes.
