A chain homotopy offers a way to relate two chain maps that induce the same map on homology groups, even though the maps may be different. Given two chain complexes A and B, and two chain maps f, g : A → B, a chain homotopy is a sequence of homomorphisms h n : A n → B n+1 such that hd A + d B h = f − g. The maps may be written out in a ...
