Let kkk be a commutative ring, GGG a group, and A,BA,BA,B two kkk-linear representations of GGG (objects of Rep k G), all in a single universe. Fix natural numbers p,qp,qp,q, an AAA-valued inhomogeneous ppp-cochain f:Gp→Af : G^p \to Af:Gp→A, a BBB-valued inhomogeneous qqq-cochain g:Gq→Bg : G^q \to Bg:Gq→B, and a tuple σ:Gp+q+1\sigma : G^{p+q+1}σ:Gp+q+1. Here cochainCup A B p q\mathrm{cochainCup}\,A\,B\,p\,qcochainCupABpq is the kkk-bilinear map sending (f,g)(f,g)(f,g) to the (A⊗B)(A\otimes B)(A⊗B)-valued (p+q)(p+q)(p+q)-cochain whose value at τ∈Gp+q\tau \in G^{p+q}τ∈Gp+q is f(τ∘castAdd)⊗kρB(τ0⋯τp−1) g(τ∘natAdd)f(\tau \circ \mathrm{castAdd}) \otimes_k \rho_B\big(\tau_0\cdots\tau_{p-1}\big)\,g(\tau \circ \mathrm{natAdd})f(τ∘castAdd)⊗k​ρB​(τ0​⋯τp−1​)g(τ∘natAdd), the first argument being the initial ppp entries of τ\tauτ, the second the final qqq entries, and the twisting element being Fin.partialProd of the initial segment evaluated at Fin.last p. The assertion is the pointwise identity, at the given σ\sigmaσ, between the value of Mathlib's inhomogeneous differential dp+qd^{p+q}dp+q on f∪gf \cup gf∪g and the sum of two terms: the cochain (dpf)∪g(d^p f) \cup g(dpf)∪g on G(p+1)+qG^{(p+1)+q}G(p+1)+q, evaluated at σ\sigmaσ precomposed with the reindexing Fin.cast coming from (p+1)+q=p+q+1(p+1)+q = p+q+1(p+1)+q=p+q+1, plus (−1)p(-1)^p(−1)p times the value at σ\sigmaσ of f∪(dqg)f \cup (d^q g)f∪(dqg), a cochain on Gp+(q+1)G^{p+(q+1)}Gp+(q+1).

This is the Leibniz rule d(f∪g)=df∪g+(−1)pf∪dgd(f \cup g) = df \cup g + (-1)^p f \cup dgd(f∪g)=df∪g+(−1)pf∪dg for the cup product on inhomogeneous cochains, stated pointwise at a tuple of group elements; the explicit Fin.cast records that (p+1)+q=p+q+1(p+1)+q = p+q+1(p+1)+q=p+q+1 is not a definitional identity in Lean, whereas p+(q+1)=p+q+1p+(q+1) = p+q+1p+(q+1)=p+q+1 is. It is the computational input for all cohomology-level properties of the cup product in this development, including the existence of a graded cup product, its compatibility with connecting homomorphisms, and the Tate-cohomology extension.
