Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require kernels and cokernels and normality of monomorphisms and epimorphisms.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Form complexes in AA, pass to the homotopy category K(A)K(A), and localize at quasi-isomorphisms. The result is a new category, not an equivalent presentation of AA.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Every abelian category has a canonical Quillen exact structure consisting of all short exact sequences.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require exact filtered colimits, small coproducts, and a generator.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.
