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:

The Quillen axioms E0/E0op, E1/E1op, and E2/E2op translate directly to standard properties of abelian categories:

    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.

    @[simp]

    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.

    Duality for canonical conflations: the un-opposite of a short complex in Cᵒᵖ is a conflation in C if and only if the original complex is a conflation in Cᵒᵖ.
