I am trying to compute a morphism between chain complexes (and homology/cohomology ultimately) that is induced by a simplicial map. The problem seems to be when I try to specify the map between barycentric subdivisions.

As a concrete example - this works:

S = SimplicialComplex([[1,2]],is_mutable=False)
T = SimplicialComplex([[1,2],[2,3],[1,3]],is_mutable=False)
f = {x[0]:x[0] for x in S.cells()[0]}
H  = Hom(S,T)
z = H(f)
r = z.associated_chain_complex_morphism()

If I try to do the same with the subdivision - I get

S = SimplicialComplex([[1,2]],is_mutable=False).barycentric_subdivision()
S.set_immutable()
T = SimplicialComplex([[1,2],[2,3],[1,3]],is_mutable=False).barycentric_subdivision()
T.set_immutable()
f = {x[0]:x[0] for x in S.cells()[0]}
H  = Hom(S,T)
z = H(f)
r = z.associated_chain_complex_morphism()

I get:

ValueError: matrices must define a chain complex morphism

Any insight would be helpful.

This looks like a bug. Thank you for reporting it; I have posted a fix to https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull....

A stupid question since I do not work with sage a lot - is the right way to do this to install the development version of sage and either wait for the pull request to go through or pull in fix directly on my local version?

That's right: install the development version and pull in the fix. Or wait, but it might take a while, first to get reviewed (positively, I hope) and then merged into a new official release.

The pull request now has a positive review, so it should be part of an upcoming beta release: possibly the next one, which would be 10.3.beta2.
