Derived de Rham Complex and Cyclic Homology.
2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 18G35; Secondary 55U15.We consider non-standard totalisation functors for double complexes, involving left or right truncated products. We show how properties of these imply that the algebraic mapping torus of a self map h of a cochain complex of finitely presented modules has trivial negative Novikov cohomology, and has trivial positive Novikov cohomology provided h is a quasi-isomorphism. As an application we obtain a new and transparent proof that...
