The derived category of an abelian category

In this file, we construct the derived category DerivedCategory C of an abelian category C. It is equipped with a triangulated structure.

The derived category is defined here as the localization of cochain complexes indexed by ℤ with respect to quasi-isomorphisms: it is a type synonym of HomologicalComplexUpToQuasiIso C (ComplexShape.up ℤ). Then, we have a localization functor DerivedCategory.Q : CochainComplex C ℤ ⥤ DerivedCategory C. It was already shown in the file Algebra.Homology.Localization that the induced functor DerivedCategory.Qh : HomotopyCategory C (ComplexShape.up ℤ) ⥤ DerivedCategory C is a localization functor with respect to the class of morphisms HomotopyCategory.quasiIso C (ComplexShape.up ℤ). In the lemma HomotopyCategory.quasiIso_eq_subcategoryAcyclic_W we obtain that this class of morphisms consists of morphisms whose cone belongs to the triangulated subcategory HomotopyCategory.subcategoryAcyclic C of acyclic complexes. Then, the triangulated structure on DerivedCategory C is deduced from the triangulated structure on the homotopy category (see file Algebra.Homology.HomotopyCategory.Triangulated) using the localization theorem for triangulated categories which was obtained in the file CategoryTheory.Localization.Triangulated.

Implementation notes

If C : Type u and Category.{v} C, the constructed localized category of cochain complexes with respect to quasi-isomorphisms has morphisms in Type (max u v). However, in certain circumstances, it shall be possible to prove that they are v-small (when C is a Grothendieck abelian category (e.g. the category of modules over a ring), it should be so by a theorem of Hovey.).

Then, when working with derived categories in mathlib, the user should add the variable [HasDerivedCategory.{w} C] which is the assumption that there is a chosen derived category with morphisms in Type w. When derived categories are used in order to prove statements which do not involve derived categories, the HasDerivedCategory.{max u v} instance should be obtained at the beginning of the proof, using the term HasDerivedCategory.standard C.

TODO (@joelriou)

• construct the distinguished triangle associated to a short exact sequence of cochain complexes (done), and compare the associated connecting homomorphism with the one defined in Algebra.Homology.HomologySequence.
• refactor the definition of Ext groups using morphisms in the derived category (which may be shrunk to the universe v at least when C has enough projectives or enough injectives).
