Let be a polyhedral complex in . A superform on is the restriction of a superform on (an open subset of) to . This means that two superforms agree if their restrictions to any polyhedron of agree. Let be the space of superforms on . It is an alternating algebra with respect to the induced wedge product. We have also differential operators , and on given by restriction of the corresponding operators on . Let be the space of -superforms on . The support of is the complement of in . We denote by the subspace of of superforms of compact support.
Let be a free abelian group of rank and let be an affine map. Suppose that is a polyhedral complex of with , then the pull-back in 2.3 induces a pull-back .
