The Frobenius category of Gorenstein-projective objects #
Let C be an abelian category. Its Gorenstein-projective objects are closed under extensions
(CategoryTheory.isGorensteinProjective_isExtensionClosed), so they inherit the exact structure of
C. This exact structure is Frobenius: complete resolutions give conflations
Z⁻¹ ↪ P⁻¹ ↠ Z⁰ and Z⁰ ↪ P⁰ ↠ Z¹ with projective middle terms, and both the relative
projectives and the relative injectives are exactly the objects which are projective in C.
Projectives of C are relatively injective because a Gorenstein-projective object has no
extensions by them.
Hence the stable category of Gorenstein-projective objects, the quotient by the morphisms
factoring through projectives, is triangulated by Happel's theorem
(TauCeti.ExactStructure.IsFrobenius.stablePretriangulated and
TauCeti.ExactStructure.IsFrobenius.stableIsTriangulated). No hypothesis on C beyond being
abelian is needed; in particular C need not have enough projectives.

The construction adapts the Frobenius exact structure on finitely generated Gorenstein-projective
modules over a Noetherian ring in TauCeti/Algebra/Homology/GorensteinProjective/Frobenius.lean
(TauCeti.GorensteinProjectiveModuleCat.exactStructure_isFrobenius): the full subcategory with its
inherited exact structure, the conflations cut out of a complete resolution, and the
identification of the relative projectives and injectives with the projective objects, here
from totally acyclic complexes in an arbitrary abelian category.

Instances For
The exact structure on Gorenstein-projective objects induced by the abelian exact structure
of C.
Instances For
The conflations of Gorenstein-projective objects are the short exact sequences of C.
The relative projectives among Gorenstein-projective objects are the projective objects of
C.
The relative injectives among Gorenstein-projective objects are also the projective objects of
C, not the injective ones.
Complete resolutions provide enough relative projectives.
Complete resolutions provide enough relative injectives.
Gorenstein-projective objects form a Frobenius exact category, whose projective-injective
objects are the projective objects of C.
A morphism of Gorenstein-projective objects factors through a relatively projective object
exactly when it factors through a projective object of C.
