Let (Li)i∈I be a family of A-modules, where the set I is finite and totally ordered. Let u be a linear form on ⨁i∈ILi, ui its restriction to Li.
The canonical isomorphism of A-algebras (III, p. 84)
g:i∈I⨂Λ(Li)→Λ(i∈I⨁Li)
is an isomorphism of the complex ⨂i∈IK(ui) (X, p. 63) onto the complex K(u).
In fact, by X, p. 64, remark 4, the differential D of the complex ⨂i∈IK(ui) is an antiderivation; the antiderivations du and g∘D∘g−1 of Λ(⨁Li) coincide on ⨁Li with the mapping x↦u(x).1 of ⨁Li into Λ(⨁Li), hence are equal (III, p. 128, cor.).
Let C and C′ be two complexes of A-modules. One has (X, p. 63 and p. 99) canonical isomorphisms of complexes
C⊗A(C′⊗AK(u))→(C⊗AC′)⊗AK(u)
HomgrA(C′,HomgrA(K(u),C))→HomgrA(C′⊗AK(u),C),
that is, isomorphisms
(4)
C⊗AKA(u,C′)→KA(u,C⊗AC′)
(5)
HomgrA(C′,KAi(u,C))→HomgrA(KA(u,C′),C)
Dans (4) and (5), take C′=K(u′), where u′:L′→A is a linear form on an A-module L′, and note that KA(u,K(u′)) which is equal by definition to K(u′)⊗AK(u) is identified, according to Prop. 2, with K(u′⊕u) where u′⊕u:L′⊕L→A is the linear form (x′,x)↦u′(x′)+u(x). We then obtain isomorphisms of complexes
(6)
KA(u′⊕u,C)→KA(u,KA(u′,C))
(7)
KAi(u′,KAi(u,C))→KAi(u′⊕u,C)
By passing to homology, we deduce isomorphisms of A-modules
HrA(u′⊕u,C)→HrA(u,KA(u′,C)),r∈Z,
HAr(u′,KAi(u,C))→HAr(u′⊕u,C),r∈Z.
Finally note that the homomorphism deduced from the product in the algebra Λ(L)
m:KA(u)⊗AKA(u)→KA(u)
is a morphism of complexes (since du is an antiderivation). Supposing that L is free of rank n and composing with the morphism of complexes KA(u)→ΛnL(−n) which is the identity in degree n, we deduce a morphism of complexes
χ:KA(u)⊗AKA(u)→ΛnL(−n);
to this morphism corresponds canonically, according to X, p. 99, Prop. 12, a morphism of complexes
φ:KA(u)→HomgrA(KA(u),ΛnL(−n))
which is bijective (III, p. 87, formula (20)). For every complex C, we deduce a composed isomorphism
