complex(ChainComplexMap) -- translate between data types for chain complex maps

Synopsis

Description

Both ChainComplexMap and ComplexMap are Macaulay2 types that implement maps between chain complexes. The plan is to replace ChainComplexMap with this new type. Before this happens, this function allows interoperability between these types.

The first example is the minimal free resolution of the twisted cubic curve.

i1 : R = ZZ/32003[a..d];
i2 : I = monomialCurveIdeal(R, {1,2,3})

             2                    2
o2 = ideal (c  - b*d, b*c - a*d, b  - a*c)

o2 : Ideal of R
i3 : M = R^1/I

o3 = cokernel | c2-bd bc-ad b2-ac |

                            1
o3 : R-module, quotient of R
i4 : C = resolution M

      1      3      2

     0      1      2      3

o4 : ChainComplex
i5 : f = C.dd

          1                             3

               {2} | b  -c |
               {2} | -a b  |

o6 : ComplexMap
i7 : isWellDefined g

o7 = true
i8 : D = freeResolution M

      1      3      2
o8 = R  <-- R  <-- R

o8 : Complex
i9 : assert(D.dd == g)

The following two extension of maps between modules to maps between chain complexes agree.

Caveat

This is a temporary method to allow comparisons among the data types, and will be removed once the older data structure is replaced
