homomorphism'(ComplexMap) -- get the element of Hom from a map of complexes

Synopsis

Description

As a first example, consider two Koszul complexes $C$ and $D$. From a random map $f : R^1 \to Hom(C, D)$, we construct the corresponding map of chain complexes $g : C \to D$.

The map $g : C \to D$ corresponding to a random map into $Hom(C,D)$ does not generally commute with the differentials. However, if the element of $Hom(C,D)$ is a cycle, then the corresponding map does commute.
