The canonical exact structure on an abelian category #
Every abelian category C carries a canonical Quillen exact structure
ExactStructure.abelian C whose conflations are the short exact short complexes
S : X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z (in the sense of CategoryTheory.ShortComplex.ShortExact).
In this exact structure:
- Conflations are short exact short complexes:
(ExactStructure.abelian C).Conflation S ↔ S.ShortExact. - Inflations are monomorphisms:
(ExactStructure.abelian C).IsInflation i ↔ Mono i. - Deflations are epimorphisms:
(ExactStructure.abelian C).IsDeflation p ↔ Epi p.
The Quillen axioms E0/E0op, E1/E1op, and E2/E2op translate directly to standard properties of abelian categories:
- E0/E0op: identity morphisms are monomorphisms and epimorphisms.
- E1/E1op: composites of monomorphisms (epimorphisms) are monomorphisms (epimorphisms).
- E2/E2op: pushouts of monomorphisms (pullbacks of epimorphisms) exist and are
monomorphisms (epimorphisms), as in
Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Abelian.Monomorphisms.

Instances For
The conflations of the canonical exact structure on an abelian category are the short exact short complexes.
In an abelian category, conflations of the canonical exact structure are precisely the kernel–cokernel pairs.
A morphism in an abelian category is an inflation of the canonical exact structure if and only if it is a monomorphism.
A morphism in an abelian category is a deflation of the canonical exact structure if and only if it is an epimorphism.
The inflations of the canonical exact structure are precisely the monomorphisms.
The deflations of the canonical exact structure are precisely the epimorphisms.
In an abelian category, every monomorphism i : X ⟶ Y yields a canonical conflation
X ⟶ Y ⟶ cokernel i.
In an abelian category, every epimorphism p : Y ⟶ Z yields a canonical conflation
kernel p ⟶ Y ⟶ Z.
Duality for canonical conflations: the opposite of a short complex in C is a conflation in
Cᵒᵖ if and only if the original complex is a conflation in C.
