Exact functors

In this file, it is shown that additive functors which preserves homology also preserves finite limits and finite colimits.

Main results

Let F : C ⥤ D be an additive functor:

• Functor.preservesFiniteLimits_of_preservesHomology: if F preserves homology, then F preserves finite limits.
• Functor.preservesFiniteColimits_of_preservesHomology: if F preserves homology, then F preserves finite colimits.

If we further assume that C and D are abelian categories, then we have:

• Functor.preservesFiniteLimits_tfae: the following are equivalent:

  1. for every short exact sequence 0 ⟶ A ⟶ B ⟶ C ⟶ 0, 0 ⟶ F(A) ⟶ F(B) ⟶ F(C) ⟶ 0 is exact.
  2. for every exact sequence A ⟶ B ⟶ C where A ⟶ B is mono, F(A) ⟶ F(B) ⟶ F(C) is exact and F(A) ⟶ F(B) is mono.
  3. F preserves kernels.
  4. F preserves finite limits.

• Functor.preservesFiniteColimits_tfae: the following are equivalent:

  1. for every short exact sequence 0 ⟶ A ⟶ B ⟶ C ⟶ 0, F(A) ⟶ F(B) ⟶ F(C) ⟶ 0 is exact.
  2. for every exact sequence A ⟶ B ⟶ C where B ⟶ C is epi, F(A) ⟶ F(B) ⟶ F(C) is exact and F(B) ⟶ F(C) is epi.
  3. F preserves cokernels.
  4. F preserves finite colimits.

• Functor.exact_tfae: the following are equivalent:

  1. for every short exact sequence 0 ⟶ A ⟶ B ⟶ C ⟶ 0, 0 ⟶ F(A) ⟶ F(B) ⟶ F(C) ⟶ 0 is exact.
  2. for every exact sequence A ⟶ B ⟶ C, F(A) ⟶ F(B) ⟶ F(C) is exact.
  3. F preserves homology.
  4. F preserves both finite limits and finite colimits.
