Graded exact categories #

A graded exact category is a Quillen exact category equipped with a chosen internal grading shift {1}: an autoequivalence of the underlying additive category which is an isomorphism of exact categories, that is, whose functor and whose inverse are both conflation-exact. The shift is data, not a property, exactly as a pinning is: it is what gives the Grothendieck group of the category its ℤ-action [M] ↦ [M{1}].

Requiring the inverse to be conflation-exact is not automatic from requiring it of the functor. An autoequivalence can enlarge the class of conflations strictly, in which case its inverse does not induce the canonical inverse map on K₀. The theorem TauCeti.ExactStructure.isConflationExact_inverse_iff_reflectsConflations, proved alongside the transport of exact structures, identifies the extra hypothesis with reflection of conflations, which is the form in which it is usually checked.

A graded exact structure on an additive category: a Quillen exact structure together with a chosen autoequivalence {1}, the grading shift, whose functor and whose inverse both preserve the distinguished conflations.

The shift is data. Conflation-exactness of both directions supplies mutually inverse maps on Grothendieck groups induced by the shift and its inverse; see TauCeti.ExactStructure.isConflationExact_inverse_iff_reflectsConflations for the reformulation of the second hypothesis as reflection of conflations.

    A short complex is a conflation exactly when its shift is. This is the precise sense in which the grading shift is an isomorphism of exact categories.

    Build a graded exact structure from a shift which both preserves and reflects conflations. This is the form in which the hypothesis is usually available.

      The split exact structure, graded by an arbitrary additive autoequivalence: every additive functor preserves split conflations, so no compatibility between the shift and the exact structure has to be checked.

        The canonical exact structure of an abelian category, graded by an arbitrary additive autoequivalence: an equivalence preserves all finite limits and colimits, so again no compatibility has to be checked.

          A graded conflation-exact functor between graded exact categories: a conflation-exact functor together with a chosen isomorphism commuting it with the two grading shifts.

          The commutation isomorphism is data rather than a property, since the induced ℤ-equivariance of the map on Grothendieck groups is proved from it.

          Instances For

            A graded exact equivalence between graded exact categories: an equivalence of the underlying additive categories whose functor and whose inverse are both conflation-exact, together with a chosen isomorphism commuting the functor with the two grading shifts.

            Conflation-exactness of the inverse is again an extra hypothesis, for the reason recorded on TauCeti.GradedExactStructure: it supplies the inverse map on Grothendieck groups induced by the inverse functor.

            Instances For

              The identity equivalence is a graded exact equivalence.
