Functoriality of quotients by morphism ideals #
An additive functor F : C ⥤ D pulls a morphism ideal of D back to one of C. Consequently,
if F carries an ideal I into an ideal J, it induces an additive functor C/I ⥤ D/J.
Natural transformations descend to these quotient functors, and the construction respects
identities and composition.
This is the functorial part of the universal property of an additive quotient. In particular, it is the mechanism by which an additive functor preserving projective-injective objects will induce a functor between stable categories.

Pullback of ideals #
The inverse image of a morphism ideal under an additive functor. A morphism belongs to
J.comap F precisely when its image under F belongs to J.
Equations
Instances For
A morphism belongs to the pullback ideal exactly when its image belongs to the original ideal.
Pullback of ideals is monotone.
Pulling an ideal back along the identity functor leaves it unchanged.
Pullback along a composite functor is the composite of the two pullbacks.
Pullback of ideals only depends on the functor up to natural isomorphism.
If F carries I into J and G carries J into K, then F ⋙ G carries I into
K.
Functors between quotients #
The kernel ideal of a functor followed by a quotient functor is the pullback of the quotient ideal.
An additive functor carrying I into J induces a functor from C/I to D/J.
Equations
- I.map J F hF = I.lift (F.comp J.quotientFunctor) ⋯
Instances For
The functor induced on ideal quotients is additive.
Precomposing the induced functor with the source quotient functor recovers the original functor followed by the target quotient functor.
The functor induced on ideal quotients is the lift of the composite with the target quotient functor.
On objects from the original category, the induced functor applies the original functor and then passes to the target quotient.
On morphisms from the original category, the induced functor applies the original functor and then passes to the target quotient.
The identity functor on a category induces the identity functor on every ideal quotient.
Compatible functors induce the composite of their functors on ideal quotients.
Natural transformations between quotient functors #
A natural transformation between ideal-preserving functors descends to their induced functors on the quotients.

Descent sends an identity natural transformation to an identity.
Descent preserves vertical composition of natural transformations.
A natural isomorphism between ideal-preserving functors descends to a natural isomorphism between their induced functors on the quotients.
