Tor, the left-derived functor of tensor product #
We define Tor C n : C ⥤ C ⥤ C, by left-deriving in the second factor of (X, Y) ↦ X ⊗ Y.
For now we have almost nothing to say about it!
It would be good to show that this is naturally isomorphic to the functor obtained
by left-deriving in the first factor, instead.
For now we define Tor' by left-deriving in the first factor,
but showing Tor C n ≅ Tor' C n will require a bit more theory!
Possibly it's best to axiomatize delta functors, and obtain a unique characterisation?
