Ext from minimal graded resolutions #
For a minimal graded projective resolution, every differential has image in the positive-degree algebra action. Against a target annihilated by that action, the Hom complex has zero differentials. Its terms therefore compute Ext in every degree, including degree zero.
GradedProjectiveResolution.IsMinimal.extLinearEquiv identifies graded Hom from the nth
resolution term with Extⁿ. The vanishing characterization converts diagonal Ext vanishing
into vanishing of graded Hom, without assuming the resolution is linear. The equivalence is
natural in the target. Neither nonnegative grading nor semisimplicity is needed for this
computation; those hypotheses enter when detecting generating degrees or constructing minimal
resolutions.
GradedProjectiveResolution.exists_isMinimal_of_forall_cover assembles a minimal resolution from
any supply of minimal projective surjections that is stable under passing to kernels.

Precomposition with the augmentation of a minimal resolution is an equivalence for a positive-action-annihilated target. This also explains the degree-zero Ext computation.
Instances For
The augmentation equivalence is precomposition with the original augmentation.
Iterating minimal projective surjections along successive kernels gives a minimal resolution.
Suppose every graded module satisfying S is the target of a projective surjection whose kernel
lies in the positive-degree action on the source, whose source satisfies T, and whose kernel
again satisfies S. Then every graded module satisfying S has a minimal graded projective
resolution all of whose terms satisfy T.
A minimal resolution computes Ext as graded Hom from its terms whenever positive-degree scalars annihilate the target. The statement includes degree zero.
Instances For
In degree zero, a map pulled back along the augmentation represents the ordinary Hom class.
The degree-zero equivalence descends a map through the augmentation.
The degree-zero equivalence descends a map through the augmentation.
In positive degree the equivalence sends a graded map to its projective-resolution class.
Ext against an annihilated target vanishes exactly when graded Hom from the corresponding term of the minimal resolution vanishes.
The minimal-resolution Ext computation is natural under maps between targets annihilated by positive-degree scalars.
