Additivity and descent of the Ext-Euler characteristic #

This file proves that the Ext-Euler characteristic is additive along a short exact sequence in either variable. The proof cuts the long exact Ext sequence off at a common vanishing bound; the correction term at a truncation is the rank of the next boundary map, and it vanishes at the chosen bound.

For extension-closed object properties P and Q, an Euler-admissibility hypothesis on every pair in P × Q then gives a biadditive pairing between the exact Grothendieck groups of the two full subcategories.

Additivity on short exact sequences #

The Ext-Euler characteristic is additive on a short exact sequence in its second variable.

The Ext-Euler characteristic is additive on a short exact sequence in its first variable.

Descent to exact Grothendieck groups #

For a fixed object in P, the Ext-Euler characteristic descends in the second variable to the exact K₀ of the extension-closed full subcategory on Q.

    The Ext-Euler pairing on Grothendieck groups. If P and Q are extension-closed additive object properties and every pair in P × Q is Euler-admissible, the object-level Ext-Euler characteristic descends to a map additive in both variables on their exact K₀ groups. The two groups are kept distinct: the pairing need not be symmetric.
