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.

Instances For
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.

The descended pairing evaluates on object classes as the original Ext-Euler characteristic.
The Ext-Euler pairing is the unique biadditive map with the prescribed values on pairs of object classes.
