    I started putting some content into internal hom of chain complexes. But am being interrupted now…

    Are these non-negatively graded chain complexes? Because if you want \mathbb{Z}-graded, then you need to use a product (not a sum) in the construction. (Basically, I think it would be clearer anyway to use a product, even for non-negatively graded objects.)

    The definition of the internal-hom of chain complexes doesn’t respect non-negative or non-positive grading. That is, even if XX and YY are non-negatively graded, or non-positively graded, then [X,Y][X,Y] may not be either. Can one define a variant internal-hom that applies in either of these situations? Or are we just forced into the unbounded case if we want internal-homs?

    For the positively graded case, can’t we just use [X,Y] n= p0Hom(X p,Y n+p)[X, Y]_n = \prod_{p \geq 0} Hom(X_p, Y_{n+p})?

    The “inclusion” UU of non-negatively-graded cochain complexes into unbounded complexes is fully faithful, strongly monoidal, and has a right adjoint, say RR, so

    Hom(U(AB),C)Hom(UAUB,C)Hom(UA,[UB,C])Hom(A,R[UB,C])Hom (U (A \otimes B), C) \cong Hom (U A \otimes U B, C) \cong Hom (U A, [U B, C]) \cong Hom (A, R [U B, C])

    therefore non-negatively-graded cochain complexes is also monoidal closed. The functor RR is the good truncation, which replaces negative degrees with the zero object and the object in degree 0 with the kernel of the differential. I suppose the story for chain complexes has a left adjoint instead, which is troublesome…

    That’s about the conclusion I had come to as well. It’s curious that the two cases seem so different.

    I asked because I was wondering whether you could have a closed monoidal homotopy theory which is not stable, but where ΣΩ=Id\Sigma\Omega=Id. For a while I thought that non-positively graded chain complexes should be an answer, but then I ran into this problem. Now I think I have a proof that this is impossible: since \otimes is cocontinuous in each variable, ΣΩ=Id\Sigma\Omega=Id gives ΣIΩII\Sigma I \otimes \Omega I \cong I, where II is the monoidal unit, so the functor Σ(ΣI)\Sigma \cong (\Sigma I \otimes -) is an equivalence and we are stable.

    Oh, I suppose because I was thinking of it as being a diagram of shape \bullet \to \bullet \to \bullet \to \cdots instead of a diagram of shape \cdots \to \bullet \to \bullet \to \cdots. But UU isn’t induced by a functor between diagram shapes, unfortunately.

    I guess you are assuming that Σ\Sigma and Ω\Omega are strong functors or something like that? Otherwise I do not see why ΣIΩII\Sigma I \otimes \Omega I \cong I. But then why should they be strong functors?

    I would have thought that UU is induced by a functor of Set *Set_*-enriched diagrams, which is where we have to be to consider chain complexes as diagrams anyway. If we include zero objects in our diagrams (i.e. we Set *Set_*-Cauchy-complete them), then can’t we just send all the positive objects to 00?

    Σ\Sigma is a colimit construction, so it’s preserved by \otimes, so we get

    ΣIΩIΣ(IΩI)ΣΩII\Sigma I \otimes \Omega I \cong \Sigma(I\otimes \Omega I) \cong \Sigma\Omega I \cong I

    the last step by the assumption that ΣΩ=Id\Sigma\Omega=Id.

    Yes, we would have to do that. But if UU is induced by a functor between diagram shapes, then it really should have both adjoints. I think the left adjoint is the functor that sends an unbounded cochain complex A A^{\bullet} to coker(A 1A 0)A 1A 2coker (A^{-1} \to A^0) \to A^1 \to A^2 \to \cdots. I guess that resolves the duality question.

    edit: This is wrong, see below or ignore.

    I think it should be noted, that this does not make 𝒞𝒽\mathcal{Ch} into a closed category, but rather a category of chain complexes with morphisms all graded maps, not just chain maps. I.e., we do not have

    𝒞𝒽(AB,C)𝒞𝒽(A,[B,C]), \mathcal{Ch}(A\otimes B,C) \cong \mathcal{Ch}(A, [B,C]),

    but instead

    [AB,C] 0[A,[B,C]] 0. [A\otimes B, C]_0 \cong [A,[B,C]]_0.

    The former failing is most easily seen when taking A=IA=I, the unit of the tensor product.

    However this category should be more useful than a potential closed structure on 𝒞𝒽\mathcal{Ch} as the internal hom in this case would not include homotopies, since it only contains chain maps.

    Re #14: Given that Ch(X,Y) is simply the closed elements of degree 0 in [X,Y], i.e., closed elements in [X,Y]_0, the isomorphism [A⊗B,C]≅[A,[B,C]] implies both displayed formulas in #14.

    Take A=IA = I the unit of the tensor product of chain complexes, then

    𝒞𝒽(IB,C)𝒞𝒽(B,C)[B,C] 0𝒞𝒽(I,[B,C]) \mathcal{Ch}(I\otimes B,C)\cong\mathcal{Ch}(B,C) \neq [B,C]_0 \cong \mathcal{Ch}(I,[B,C])

    Though the third isomorphism is wrong, as Urs wrote below. I noticed this shortly after posting myself and edited it away, but put back what I originally wrote so the discussion remains readable.

    No, the chain maps out of II are the closed elements of degree=0 in the codomain.

    Adds a paragraph refrasing the characterisation if the 0-cycles in terms of the canonical forgetful functor Ch(I,)Ch(I,-).

    See above discussion starting at #14 and the corresponding edit at tensor product of chain complexes.
