Abstract

We construct a cubical analog of the Tierney-Vogel theory of simplicial derived functors and prove that these cubical derived functors are naturally isomorphic to their simplicial counterparts. We also show that this result generalizes the well-known fact that the simplicial and cubical singular homologies of a topological space are naturally isomorphic.

Keywords

derived functor, normalized chain complex, presimplicial object, projective class, projective pseudocubical resolution, pseudocubical object
