Exact sequences in abelian categories #
In an abelian category, we get several interesting results related to exactness which are not true in more general settings.
Main results #
- A short complex
S
is exact iffimageSubobject S.f = kernelSubobject S.g
. - If
(f, g)
is exact, thenimage.ι f
has the universal property of the kernel ofg
. f
is a monomorphism iffkernel.ι f = 0
iffExact 0 f
, andf
is an epimorphism iffcokernel.π = 0
iffExact f 0
.- A faithful functor between abelian categories that preserves zero morphisms reflects exact sequences.
X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z ⟶ 0
is exact if and only if the second map is a cokernel of the first, and0 ⟶ X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z
is exact if and only if the first map is a kernel of the second.- A functor
F
such that for allS
, we haveS.Exact → (S.map F).Exact
preserves both finite limits and colimits.
In an abelian category, a short complex S
is exact
iff imageSubobject S.f = kernelSubobject S.g
.
If (f, g)
is exact, then Abelian.image.ι S.f
is a kernel of S.g
