Suspension and loops are inverse autoequivalences of a Frobenius stable category #

Let E be a Frobenius exact structure, with chosen conflations X ⟶ I(X) ⟶ ΣX and ΩX ⟶ P(X) ⟶ X whose middle terms are projective-injective. This file proves that the stable suspension and stable loop functors are quasi-inverse, and packages them as an additive autoequivalence of the projective stable category.

The comparisons are the classical ones. Since P(X) is injective, the loop inflation ΩX ⟶ P(X) extends along ΩX ⟶ I(ΩX), which induces ΣΩX ⟶ X on cokernels; its inverse in the stable category is the connecting map X ⟶ ΣΩX of the loop conflation. Dually, since I(X) is projective, the suspension deflation I(X) ⟶ ΣX lifts along P(ΣX) ⟶ ΣX, which induces X ⟶ ΩΣX on kernels, and P(ΣX) lifts along I(X) ⟶ ΣX to give the inverse ΩΣX ⟶ X. All the required identities in the stable category follow from ExactStructure.projectiveStableFunctor_map_τ₃_eq_of_τ₁_eq and its dual: maps of conflations agreeing at one end agree at the other end modulo a projective middle term.
