Equivalences of quotients by morphism ideals #
Let F : C ⥤ D be an additive functor carrying a morphism ideal I of C into a morphism ideal
J of D, so that F induces I.map J F hF : C/I ⥤ D/J. This file records how the properties
of F pass to the induced functor:
- the induced functor is faithful exactly when
Icontains every morphism thatFsends intoJ, that is whenJ.comap F ≤ I; no faithfulness ofFitself is needed; - it is full when
F ⋙ J.quotientFunctoris full, and essentially surjective when this composite is; in particular, these properties descend fromFitself; - a full, essentially surjective
F ⋙ J.quotientFunctorwithJ.comap F ≤ Iinduces an equivalence of quotients, without requiringFto be faithful; - consequently an equivalence
e : C ≌ DwithI = J.comap e.functorinduces an equivalenceC/I ≌ D/J, whose inverse is the functor induced bye.inverse.
Pulling back along an equivalence is inverse to pulling back along its inverse, so the hypothesis
I = J.comap e.functor says precisely that e carries I onto J.
This is the mechanism by which an equivalence of additive categories matching two ideals, such as an exact equivalence matching projective-injective objects, identifies the corresponding quotient categories.

Properties of induced functors #
A functor lifted from a quotient is faithful exactly when its kernel is the quotient ideal.
The lift of a full functor is full.
The lift of an essentially surjective functor is essentially surjective.
A full, essentially surjective functor induces an equivalence after quotienting by its kernel ideal.
Two morphisms of C have the same image under the quotient functor followed by the induced
functor exactly when F sends their difference into J.
The functor induced on quotients is faithful exactly when every morphism that F sends into
J already lies in I.
The induced functor on quotients is full when the composite with the target quotient functor
is full. In particular, this holds when F is full.
The induced functor on quotients is essentially surjective when the composite with the target
quotient functor is essentially surjective. In particular, this holds when F is essentially
surjective.
If the composite with the target quotient functor is full and essentially surjective, and
J.comap F ≤ I, then F induces an equivalence of quotients.
Ideals along an equivalence #
Pulling an ideal back along an equivalence and then along its inverse recovers the ideal.
Pulling an ideal back along the inverse of an equivalence and then along the equivalence recovers the ideal.
If e carries I onto J, then its inverse carries J into I.
An equivalence e : C ≌ D carrying the ideal I onto the ideal J induces an equivalence
of the quotient categories C/I ≌ D/J. Its functor and inverse are the functors induced by
e.functor and e.inverse.
