Suspension on a Frobenius stable category #

Let E be a Frobenius exact structure. For every object X, choose a conflation

X ⟶ I(X) ⟶ ΣX

with injective middle term. A morphism f : X ⟶ Y extends to a map I(X) ⟶ I(Y), hence induces a map ΣX ⟶ ΣY. Neither extension is unique in the original category, but any two choices differ by a morphism through an injective, which is projective under the Frobenius hypothesis. The induced map is therefore canonical in the projective stable quotient.

This file carries out that construction and obtains the additive suspension endofunctor of the stable category. The loop functor and the proof that the two are quasi-inverse are developed separately.

The choice of conflation is immaterial: the cokernel term of any relative injective presentation of X is canonically isomorphic to ΣX in the stable category, naturally in X.

          The suspension of a projective object is projective. Thus suspension sends every object killed by the stable quotient to another object killed by it.

          The functor from the exact category to the stable category kills the projective stable ideal, so it descends to an endofunctor of the stable category.

          The cokernel term of an arbitrary relative injective presentation of X represents the suspension ΣX in the projective stable category: the chosen presentation enjoys no privilege there.
