Homological functors #

In this file, given a functor F : C ⥤ A from a pretriangulated category to an abelian category, we define the type class F.IsHomological, which is the property that F sends distinguished triangles in C to exact sequences in A.

If F has been endowed with [F.ShiftSequence ℤ], then we may think of the functor F as a H^0, and then the H^n functors are the functors F.shift n : C ⥤ A: we have isomorphisms (F.shift n).obj X ≅ F.obj (X⟦n⟧), but through the choice of this "shift sequence", the user may provide functors with better definitional properties.

Given a triangle T in C, we define a connecting homomorphism F.homologySequenceδ T n₀ n₁ h : (F.shift n₀).obj T.obj₃ ⟶ (F.shift n₁).obj T.obj₁ under the assumption h : n₀ + 1 = n₁. When T is distinguished, this connecting homomorphism is part of a long exact sequence ... ⟶ (F.shift n₀).obj T.obj₁ ⟶ (F.shift n₀).obj T.obj₂ ⟶ (F.shift n₀).obj T.obj₃ ⟶ ...

The exactness of this long exact sequence is given by three lemmas F.homologySequence_exact₁, F.homologySequence_exact₂ and F.homologySequence_exact₃.

If F is a homological functor, we define the strictly full triangulated subcategory F.homologicalKernel: it consists of objects X : C such that for all n : ℤ, (F.shift n).obj X (or F.obj (X⟦n⟧)) is zero. We show that a morphism f in C belongs to F.homologicalKernel.W (i.e. the cone of f is in this kernel) iff (F.shift n).map f is an isomorphism for all n : ℤ.

Note: depending on the sources, homological functors are sometimes called cohomological functors, while certain authors use "cohomological functors" for "contravariant" functors (i.e. functors Cᵒᵖ ⥤ A).

A functor from a pretriangulated category to an abelian category is an homological functor if it sends distinguished triangles to exact sequences.

Instances
