homotopy_category V c gives the category of chain complexes of shape c in V, with chain maps identified when they are homotopic.

homotopy_category V c is the category of chain complexes of shape c in V, with chain maps identified when they are homotopic.

Instances for homotopy_category

The quotient functor from complexes to the homotopy category.

Equations

If two chain maps become equal in the homotopy category, then they are homotopic.

Equations

An arbitrarily chosen representation of the image of a chain map in the homotopy category is homotopic to the original chain map.

Equations

Homotopy equivalent complexes become isomorphic in the homotopy category.

Equations

An additive functor induces a functor between homotopy categories.
