Abelian K₀ and the bounded derived category #

For an essentially small abelian category A whose bounded derived category is essentially small, this file proves that the canonical additive homomorphism

K₀(A) ⟶ K₀(Dᵇ(A)),

sending [X] to the class of the complex with X in degree zero, is an isomorphism. A short exact sequence in A gives a distinguished triangle between the corresponding degree-zero complexes, so the map is well defined.

The inverse sends the class of a bounded complex X to the alternating sum ∑ n, (-1)ⁿ [Hⁿ X] of its cohomology classes. Consequently, the comparison identifies a bounded complex in triangulated K₀ with the alternating sum of its cohomology objects placed in degree zero.

Bounded derived category infrastructure #

A short exact sequence gives a distinguished triangle in the bounded derived category, so its degree-zero objects satisfy the triangulated K₀ relation.

The alternating class of the cohomology #

The alternating class of the cohomology is additive on distinguished triangles. For a distinguished triangle X ⟶ Y ⟶ Z ⟶ X⟦1⟧ in the derived category and a finite set s of degrees outside which the cohomology of X and Z vanishes, ∑ n ∈ s, (-1)ⁿ [Hⁿ Y] = ∑ n ∈ s, (-1)ⁿ [Hⁿ X] + ∑ n ∈ s, (-1)ⁿ [Hⁿ Z] in abelian K₀.

The comparison equivalence #

The canonical homomorphism from abelian K₀ to the triangulated K₀ of the bounded derived category. It sends the class of an object to the class of the complex concentrated in degree zero.

Instances For

    Abelian K₀ is triangulated K₀ of the bounded derived category. The class of an object goes to the class of that object placed in degree zero, and in the inverse direction the class of a bounded complex goes to the alternating sum of the classes of its cohomology objects.

      The inverse of TauCeti.AbelianK0.boundedDerivedK0Equiv sends the class of a bounded complex to the alternating sum of the classes of its cohomology objects, summed over any finite set of degrees outside which the cohomology vanishes.

      The class of a bounded complex in triangulated K₀ of the bounded derived category is the alternating sum of the classes of its cohomology objects, each placed in degree zero. The sum runs over any finite set of degrees outside which the cohomology vanishes.
