The connecting morphism of a conflation in a Frobenius stable category #

Let E be a Frobenius exact structure and let X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z be a conflation. The inflation X ⟶ I(X) of the chosen suspension presentation extends along X ⟶ Y to a map Y ⟶ I(X), since I(X) is injective, and this extension induces a map Z ⟶ ΣX on cokernels. In the projective stable category the result does not depend on the chosen extension. This is the connecting morphism of Happel's standard triangle

X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z ⟶ ΣX.

This file constructs the connecting morphism, shows that it is independent of choices in the stable category, that the consecutive composites Y ⟶ Z ⟶ ΣX and Z ⟶ ΣX ⟶ ΣY vanish there, and that it is natural in morphisms of conflations. The last fact is packaged as a natural transformation between functors on the category of conflations. In the stable category, the connecting morphism of the chosen suspension presentation itself is the identity of ΣX, and that of a split conflation is zero.

    The connecting map Z ⟶ ΣX of a conflation X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z, induced on cokernels by the chosen extension Y ⟶ I(X). Its image in the stable category is independent of that choice.

      The connecting map may be computed from any relative injective presentation X ⟶ P.I ⟶ P.K of the first term X of the conflation: a map δ : Z ⟶ P.K induced on cokernels by an extension Y ⟶ P.I of the inflation of P is the connecting map, followed by the comparison of the chosen suspension with P.K, in the stable category.

      @[simp]

      For the chosen suspension presentation X ⟶ I(X) ⟶ ΣX itself, the connecting map is the identity of ΣX in the stable category.

      @[simp]

      The connecting map of a conflation whose deflation is a split epimorphism, in particular of a split conflation, is zero in the stable category.

      The connecting maps of all conflations, as a natural transformation from the third term to the suspension of the first term, both taken in the stable category.
