Finite resolutions from bounded exact complexes #
A finite P-resolution of X in an exact category is recorded recursively, as a chain of
conflations
K₁ ↪ Q₀ ↠ X, K₂ ↪ Q₁ ↠ K₁, …, Kₙ ↪ Qₙ₋₁ ↠ Kₙ₋₁,
and TauCeti.ExactStructure.FiniteResolution.toChainComplex splices such a chain into a bounded
augmented chain complex. This file goes the other way for the canonical exact structure of an
abelian category. Let K be a chain complex with an augmentation ε : K₀ ⟶ X such that
0 = Kₙ₊₁ ⟶ Kₙ ⟶ ⋯ ⟶ K₁ ⟶ K₀ ⟶ X ⟶ 0
is exact and every Kᵢ with i ≤ n satisfies P. Cutting it at the kernels
Zᵢ₊₁ = ker (Kᵢ ⟶ Zᵢ), starting from Z₀ = X, gives short exact sequences
Zᵢ₊₁ ↪ Kᵢ ↠ Zᵢ, and Kₙ ⟶ Zₙ is an isomorphism, so Zₙ satisfies P once P is closed
under isomorphisms. The result is a finite P-resolution of X of length n.
When K vanishes in all degrees above n, the complex of this resolution is isomorphic to K,
compatibly with the augmentations, so passing from the complex to the recursive presentation loses
nothing. Alternating sums along the resolution are alternating sums of the terms K₀, …, Kₙ.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.ExactStructure.FiniteResolution.ofChainComplex: the finite resolution obtained from an augmented complex exact in degrees0, …, nwithKₙ₊₁ = 0.TauCeti.ExactStructure.FiniteResolution.toChainComplexOfChainComplexIso: the complex of that resolution is the original complex, when the latter vanishes above the length.
Main results #
TauCeti.ExactStructure.FiniteResolution.length_ofChainComplex: the resolution has lengthn.TauCeti.ExactStructure.FiniteResolution.toChainComplexOfChainComplexIso_hom_f_zero_comp: the identification of complexes carries the augmentation of the resolution toε.TauCeti.ExactStructure.FiniteResolution.foldAlternating_ofChainComplex: an alternating fold along the resolution is the alternating sum over the termsK₀, …, Kₙ.
Implementation notes #
The kernels Zᵢ are built by recursion from Z₀ = X, each together with the map Kᵢ ⟶ Zᵢ
induced by the differential, so that no exactness is needed to define them. This recursion is
reducible, so that Z₀ is X up to reducible unfolding and the resolution of Z₀ built below is
literally a resolution of X for rw and simp. The resolution
itself is assembled by a recursion on the number of remaining conflations, starting from the
deep end Zₙ, as TauCeti.ExactStructure.FiniteResolution is. Only the exactness of the complex
in degrees 0, …, n and the vanishing of Kₙ₊₁ are used; the terms above n + 1 are
irrelevant to the construction.

The finite resolution of a bounded exact augmented complex. If
0 ⟶ Kₙ ⟶ ⋯ ⟶ K₀ ⟶ X ⟶ 0 is exact, with Kₙ₊₁ = 0 and every Kᵢ for i ≤ n satisfying P,
then cutting it at the kernels of its maps gives a finite P-resolution of X for the
canonical exact structure, of length n.
Instances For
The resolution of an exact augmented complex with Kₙ₊₁ = 0 has length n, the truncation
degree; the terms of the complex above n + 1 play no role.
Alternating sums along the resolution of a bounded exact complex are the alternating sums
f K₀ - f K₁ + ⋯ + (-1)ⁿ f Kₙ over the terms of the complex, for any f invariant under
isomorphism.
The complex of the resolution of a bounded exact complex is that complex, when it vanishes in all degrees above the length: passing from the complex to the recursive presentation of the resolution loses nothing.
Instances For
The identification of complexes carries the augmentation of the resolution to the
augmentation ε of the complex.
