The horseshoe of finite projective resolutions #

For a conflation X ↪ Y ↠ Z and finite resolutions of X and Z by relative projectives, construct a finite projective resolution of Y and compatible chain maps. In each degree the resulting short complex splits, so the middle term is the biproduct of the two prescribed outer terms. Its length is at most the maximum of the two outer lengths.

The construction iterates the one-step horseshoe lemma for conflations, retaining the maps between successive syzygies. No ambient kernels, cokernels, or enough-projectives hypothesis is needed. In a graded exact category the same construction applies to graded objects and morphisms; the shift and every conflation-exact functor preserving projectives transport the resulting horseshoe.

References #

A horseshoe over a conflation, with prescribed finite projective resolutions of its outer terms: a middle resolution, augmentation-compatible chain maps, and degreewise split exactness. The middle resolution is no longer than the longer of the prescribed resolutions.

Instances For

    The finite projective horseshoe lemma. A conflation and finite projective resolutions of its outer terms admit an augmentation-compatible, degreewise split horseshoe whose middle resolution has length at most the maximum of the outer lengths.

    Equations
    Instances For

      Each middle term of a horseshoe is isomorphic to the biproduct of the prescribed outer terms. The isomorphism is compatible with the injection and projection, through the standard splitting API.

      Equations
      Instances For

        A conflation-exact additive functor preserving relative projectives transports a horseshoe. In particular this applies to the grading shift and its inverse in a graded exact category.
