For a simplicial abelian group $A$, its normalized chain complex of a simplicial abelian group isThe simplicial identities give ${\partial }^2=0$. Equivalently, $N_{n}A$ is the quotient of $A_n$ by the subgroup generated by degenerate simplices, with differential induced by ${\sum }_i(-1{)}^i{d}_i$.
