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
Sis exact iffimageSubobject S.f = kernelSubobject S.g. - If
(f, g)is exact, thenimage.ι fhas the universal property of the kernel ofg. fis a monomorphism iffkernel.ι f = 0iffExact 0 f, andfis an epimorphism iffcokernel.π = 0iffExact f 0.- A faithful functor between abelian categories that preserves zero morphisms reflects exact sequences.
X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z ⟶ 0is exact if and only if the second map is a cokernel of the first, and0 ⟶ X ⟶ Y ⟶ Zis exact if and only if the first map is a kernel of the second.- A functor
Fsuch that for allS, we haveS.Exact → (S.map F).Exactpreserves 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.
