   Format: MarkdownAm I mixed up? Let me see. We have a double complex <latex> C^{p,q} </latex> with one differential increasing <latex> p </latex> <latex> d : C^{p,q} \to C^{p+1,q}</latex> and the other decreasing <latex> q </latex> <latex> \delta : C^{p,q} \to C^{p,q-1}</latex> This gives me single differential <latex> D = d \pm \delta </latex> of definite degree (say +1) if the total degree is taken to be <latex> p - q </latex>. So if both <latex> p </latex> and <latex> q </latex> ranged in <latex> \mathbb{N} </latex> this gives degrees in all of <latex> \mathbb{Z} </latex>. And I'd think this is what I get from forming the chain complex of a cosimplicial simplicial abelian group: a chain complex (<latex> \delta </latex>) of cochain complexes (<latex> d </latex>). Do you agree?

   Am I mixed up? Let me see.

   We have a double complex with one differential increasing

   

   and the other decreasing

   

   This gives me single differential

   

   of definite degree (say +1) if the total degree is taken to be .

   So if both and ranged in this gives degrees in all of .

   And I'd think this is what I get from forming the chain complex of a cosimplicial simplicial abelian group: a chain complex () of cochain complexes ().

   Do you agree?
