• Resumen

  • We show that Szczarba’s twisting cochain for a twisted Cartesian product is essentially the same as the one constructed by Shih. More precisely, Szczarba’s twisting cochain can be obtained via the basic perturbation lemma if one uses a ‘reversed’ version of the classical Eilenberg–Mac Lane homotopy for the Eilenberg–Zilber contraction. Along the way we prove several new identities involving these homotopies.
