Projective Classes Definition. a Pre-Additive Category Is a Category Projective classes Definition. A pre-additive category is a category C together with a choice of an abelian group structure on C(M; N) for each M; N 2 obC with the property that each composition map is bilinear. For example, the category of abelian groups is pre-additive. So is the category of non-trivial abelian groups. In a pre-additive category, there is a \zero" morphism between any two ojects. Definition. Let C be a pre-additive category and f : M ! N. A morphism i : K ! M is a kernel for f if (1) f ◦ i = 0, and (2) any map j : L ! M such that f ◦ j = 0 factors uniquely through i. A pre-additive category C has kernels if every morphism in C has a kernel. If i : K ! M and j : L ! M are both kernels for f : M ! N, then there is a unique map k : L ! K such that j = i ◦ k, a unique map l : K ! L such that i = j ◦ l, and k and l are inverse isomorphisms. Thus we speak of the kernel, if one exists. For example, any zero map 0 : X ! Y has a kernel, given by the identity map 1X : X ! X. Definition. Let C be a pointed category with kernels. A projective class in C is a pair (P; E), where P is a class of objects in C and E is a class of morphisms in C, such that (1) P 2 obC lies in P if and only if for every f : M ! N in E the induced map C(P; M) ! C(P; N) is surjective. (2) f : M ! N lies in E if and only if for every P 2 P the induced map C(P; M) ! C(P; N) is surjective. (3) For every M 2 obC there is morphism P ! M in E such that P 2 P. Definition. A morphism f : M ! N in a category C is a (categorical) epimorphism if for every W 2 obC the induced map C(N; W ) ! C(M; W ) is injective. An object P in C is a (categorical) projective if for every epi- morphism M ! N in C, the induced map C(P; M) ! C(P; N) is surjective. The category C has enough (categorical) projectives if for every M 2 obC there is a categorical epimorphism P ! M with P a categorical projective. Lemma. If C is a pre-additive category with kernels and enough projectives, then the categorical projectives and the categorical epimorphisms form a projective class, the categorical or absolute projective class. Definition. Let C be a preadditive category with kernels, and let (P; E) be a projective class in C. A diagram f g M 0 − M − M 00 is exact (relative to the projective class) if f ◦ g = 0 and the canonical map M 00 ! ker f is in E. Definition. Let C be a pointed category with kernels, and let (P; E) be a projective class in C. A diagram 0 − M − P0 − P1 − P2 −· · · is a resolution of M (relative to the projective class) if it is exact at each joint and each Pn lies in P. Theorem. Let C be a pre-additive category with kernels, and let (P; E) be a projective class in C. (1) Any object M admits a projective resolution. (2) Given a diagram 0 − M − P0 − P1 − P2 −· · · in which each composite is 0 and each Pn lies in P, and a diagram 0 0 0 0 0 − M − P0 − P1 − P2 −· · · which is exact at each joint, and a map f : M ! M 0, there is a chain map 0 f∗ : P∗ ! P∗ covering f. (3) This chain map is unique up to chain homotopy. Example. Let C be a category, let Ab denote the category of abelian groups, and let Fun(C; Ab) be the category of functors from C into Ab. (We will ignore potential set theoretic objections|the morphisms in this category may not form sets|since they do not interfere with what we are doing.) Any set M of objects|to be called \models"|of C determines a projective class in Fun(C; Ab), with the following definitions: An object is M-projective if it is a retract of a the free abelian group of a coproduct of functors representable by models. A natural transformation θ : F ! G is M-epi if θM : F (M) ! G(M) is surjective for every model M. Lemma. These definitions constitute a projective class..

    WIDE SUBCATEGORIES OF d-CLUSTER TILTING SUBCATEGORIES MARTIN HERSCHEND, PETER JØRGENSEN, AND LAERTIS VASO Abstract. A subcategory of an abelian category is wide if it is closed under sums, summands, kernels, cokernels, and extensions. Wide subcategories provide a significant interface between representation theory and combinatorics. If Φ is a finite dimensional algebra, then each functorially finite wide subcategory of mod(Φ) is of the φ form φ∗ mod(Γ) in an essentially unique way, where Γ is a finite dimensional algebra and Φ −→ Γ is Φ an algebra epimorphism satisfying Tor (Γ, Γ) = 0. 1 Let F ⊆ mod(Φ) be a d-cluster tilting subcategory as defined by Iyama. Then F is a d-abelian category as defined by Jasso, and we call a subcategory of F wide if it is closed under sums, summands, d- kernels, d-cokernels, and d-extensions. We generalise the above description of wide subcategories to this setting: Each functorially finite wide subcategory of F is of the form φ∗(G ) in an essentially φ Φ unique way, where Φ −→ Γ is an algebra epimorphism satisfying Tord (Γ, Γ) = 0, and G ⊆ mod(Γ) is a d-cluster tilting subcategory. We illustrate the theory by computing the wide subcategories of some d-cluster tilting subcategories ℓ F ⊆ mod(Φ) over algebras of the form Φ = kAm/(rad kAm) . Dedicated to Idun Reiten on the occasion of her 75th birthday 1. Introduction Let d > 1 be an integer. This paper introduces and studies wide subcategories of d-abelian categories as defined by Jasso. The main examples of d-abelian categories are d-cluster tilting subcategories as defined by Iyama.

  • Derived Functors and Homological Dimension (Pdf)
    DERIVED FUNCTORS AND HOMOLOGICAL DIMENSION George Torres Math 221 Abstract. This paper overviews the basic notions of abelian categories, exact functors, and chain complexes. It will use these concepts to define derived functors, prove their existence, and demon- strate their relationship to homological dimension. I affirm my awareness of the standards of the Harvard College Honor Code. Date: December 15, 2015. 1 2 DERIVED FUNCTORS AND HOMOLOGICAL DIMENSION 1. Abelian Categories and Homology The concept of an abelian category will be necessary for discussing ideas on homological algebra. Loosely speaking, an abelian cagetory is a type of category that behaves like modules (R-mod) or abelian groups (Ab). We must first define a few types of morphisms that such a category must have. Definition 1.1. A morphism f : X ! Y in a category C is a zero morphism if: • for any A 2 C and any g; h : A ! X, fg = fh • for any B 2 C and any g; h : Y ! B, gf = hf We denote a zero morphism as 0XY (or sometimes just 0 if the context is sufficient). Definition 1.2. A morphism f : X ! Y is a monomorphism if it is left cancellative. That is, for all g; h : Z ! X, we have fg = fh ) g = h. An epimorphism is a morphism if it is right cancellative. The zero morphism is a generalization of the zero map on rings, or the identity homomorphism on groups. Monomorphisms and epimorphisms are generalizations of injective and surjective homomorphisms (though these definitions don't always coincide). It can be shown that a morphism is an isomorphism iff it is epic and monic.

    Anticommutativity and the triangular lemma. Michael Hoefnagel Abstract For a variety V, it has been recently shown that binary products com- mute with arbitrary coequalizers locally, i.e., in every fibre of the fibration of points π : Pt(C) → C, if and only if Gumm’s shifting lemma holds on pullbacks in V. In this paper, we establish a similar result connecting the so-called triangular lemma in universal algebra with a certain cat- egorical anticommutativity condition. In particular, we show that this anticommutativity and its local version are Mal’tsev conditions, the local version being equivalent to the triangular lemma on pullbacks. As a corol- lary, every locally anticommutative variety V has directly decomposable congruence classes in the sense of Duda, and the converse holds if V is idempotent. 1 Introduction Recall that a category is said to be pointed if it admits a zero object 0, i.e., an object which is both initial and terminal. For a variety V, being pointed is equivalent to the requirement that the theory of V admit a unique constant. Between any two objects X and Y in a pointed category, there exists a unique morphism 0X,Y from X to Y which factors through the zero object. The pres- ence of these zero morphisms allows for a natural notion of kernel or cokernel of a morphism f : X → Y , namely, as an equalizer or coequalizer of f and 0X,Y , respectively. Every kernel/cokernel is a monomorphism/epimorphism, and a monomorphism/epimorphism is called normal if it is a kernel/cokernel of some morphism.

  • Abelian Categories
    Abelian Categories Lemma. In an Ab-enriched category with zero object every finite product is coproduct and conversely. π1 Proof. Suppose A × B //A; B is a product. Define ι1 : A ! A × B and π2 ι2 : B ! A × B by π1ι1 = id; π2ι1 = 0; π1ι2 = 0; π2ι2 = id: It follows that ι1π1+ι2π2 = id (both sides are equal upon applying π1 and π2). To show that ι1; ι2 are a coproduct suppose given ' : A ! C; : B ! C. It φ : A × B ! C has the properties φι1 = ' and φι2 = then we must have φ = φid = φ(ι1π1 + ι2π2) = ϕπ1 + π2: Conversely, the formula ϕπ1 + π2 yields the desired map on A × B. An additive category is an Ab-enriched category with a zero object and finite products (or coproducts). In such a category, a kernel of a morphism f : A ! B is an equalizer k in the diagram k f ker(f) / A / B: 0 Dually, a cokernel of f is a coequalizer c in the diagram f c A / B / coker(f): 0 An Abelian category is an additive category such that 1. every map has a kernel and a cokernel, 2. every mono is a kernel, and every epi is a cokernel. In fact, it then follows immediatly that a mono is the kernel of its cokernel, while an epi is the cokernel of its kernel. 1 Proof of last statement. Suppose f : B ! C is epi and the cokernel of some g : A ! B. Write k : ker(f) ! B for the kernel of f. Since f ◦ g = 0 the map g¯ indicated in the diagram exists.

  • Homological Algebra Lecture 1
    Homological Algebra Lecture 1 Richard Crew Richard Crew Homological Algebra Lecture 1 1 / 21 Additive Categories Categories of modules over a ring have many special features that categories in general do not have. For example the Hom sets are actually abelian groups. Products and coproducts are representable, and one can form kernels and cokernels. The notation of an abelian category axiomatizes this structure. This is useful when one wants to perform module-like constructions on categories that are not module categories, but have all the requisite structure. We approach this concept in stages. A preadditive category is one in which one can add morphisms in a way compatible with the category structure. An additive category is a preadditive category in which finite coproducts are representable and have an \identity object." A preabelian category is an additive category in which kernels and cokernels exist, and finally an abelian category is one in which they behave sensibly. Richard Crew Homological Algebra Lecture 1 2 / 21 Definition A preadditive category is a category C for which each Hom set has an abelian group structure satisfying the following conditions: For all morphisms f : X ! X 0, g : Y ! Y 0 in C the maps 0 0 HomC(X ; Y ) ! HomC(X ; Y ); HomC(X ; Y ) ! HomC(X ; Y ) induced by f and g are homomorphisms. The composition maps HomC(Y ; Z) × HomC(X ; Y ) ! HomC(X ; Z)(g; f ) 7! g ◦ f are bilinear. The group law on the Hom sets will always be written additively, so the last condition means that (f + g) ◦ h = (f ◦ h) + (g ◦ h); f ◦ (g + h) = (f ◦ g) + (f ◦ h): Richard Crew Homological Algebra Lecture 1 3 / 21 We denote by 0 the identity of any Hom set, so the bilinearity of composition implies that f ◦ 0 = 0 ◦ f = 0 for any morphism f in C.

One of their aims was to give an axiomatic account of relationships between collections of mathematical structures. This led to the definition of categories, functors and natural transformations, the concepts that unify all category theory, Categories soon found use in module theory, group theory and many other disciplines. Nowadays, categories are used in most of mathematics, and has even been proposed as an alternative to axiomatic set theory as a foundation of mathematics.[Law66] Due to their general nature, little can be said of an arbitrary category.

  • Arxiv:1908.01212V3 [Math.CT] 3 Nov 2020 Step, One Needs to Apply a For-Loop to Divide a Matrix Into Blocks
    Typing Tensor Calculus in 2-Categories Fatimah Ahmadi Department of Computer Science University of Oxford November 4, 2020 Abstract We introduce semiadditive 2-categories, 2-categories with binary 2- biproducts and a zero object, as a suitable framework for typing tensor calculus. Tensors are the generalization of matrices, whose components have more than two indices. 1 Introduction Linear algebra is the primary mathematical toolbox for quantum physicists. Categorical quantum mechanics re-evaluates this toolbox by expressing each tool in the categorical language and leveraging the power of graphical calculus accompanying monoidal categories to gain an alternative insight into quantum features. In the categorical description of quantum mechanics, everything is typed in FHilb; the category whose objects are finite dimensional Hilbert spaces and morphisms are linear maps/matrices. In this category, Hilbert spaces associated with physical systems are typed as objects, and processes between systems as morphisms. MacLane [7] proposed the idea of typing matrices as morphisms while intro- ducing semiadditive categories(categories with well-behaved additions between objects). This line of research, further, has been explored by Macedo and Oliveira in the pursuit of avoiding the cumbersome indexed-based operations of matrices [6]. They address the quest for shifting the traditional perspective of formal methods in software development[10]. To observe why index-level operations do not offer an optimal approach, take the divide-and-conquer algorithm to multiplicate two matrices. In each arXiv:1908.01212v3 [math.CT] 3 Nov 2020 step, one needs to apply a for-loop to divide a matrix into blocks. While the division happens automatically if one takes matrices whose sources or targets are biproducts of objects.

  • Combinatorial Categorical Equivalences of Dold-Kan Type 3
    COMBINATORIAL CATEGORICAL EQUIVALENCES OF DOLD-KAN TYPE STEPHEN LACK AND ROSS STREET Abstract. We prove a class of equivalences of additive functor categories that are relevant to enumerative combinatorics, representation theory, and homotopy theory. Let X denote an additive category with finite direct sums and split idempotents. The class includes (a) the Dold-Puppe-Kan theorem that simplicial objects in X are equivalent to chain complexes in X ; (b) the observation of Church, Ellenberg and Farb [9] that X -valued species are equivalent to X -valued functors from the category of finite sets and injective partial functions; (c) a result T. Pirashvili calls of “Dold-Kan type”; and so on. When X is semi-abelian, we prove the adjunction that was an equivalence is now at least monadic, in the spirit of a theorem of D. Bourn. Contents 1.

  • On Ideals and Homology in Additive Categories
    IJMMS 29:8 (2002) 439–451 PII. S0161171202011675 http://ijmms.hindawi.com © Hindawi Publishing Corp. ON IDEALS AND HOMOLOGY IN ADDITIVE CATEGORIES LUCIAN M. IONESCU Received 28 January 2001 and in revised form 26 July 2001 Ideals are used to define homological functors in additive categories. In abelian categories the ideals corresponding to the usual universal objects are principal, and the construction reduces, in a choice dependent way, to homology groups. The applications considered in this paper are: derived categories and functors. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 18G50, 18A05. 1. Introduction. Categorification is by now a commonly used procedure [1, 6, 9]. The concept of an additive category generalizes that of a ring in the same way group- oids generalize the notion of groups. Additive categories were called “rings with sev- eral objects” in [14], and were studied by imitating results and proofs from noncom- mutative homological ring theory, to additive category theory. Alternatively, the addi- tive category theory may be applied, as in [15], to the ring theory. Subsequent related papers adopted the “ideal theory” point of view, for example, [5], and in [17] the prob- lem of lifting algebraic geometry to the category theory level was considered and a notion of prime spectrum of a category was defined. In this paper, we consider the Dedekind’s original aim for introducing ideals [7], and leading to the study of general rings, not only principal ideal rings (PIR). In the context of categories, we relax the requirements of an exact category for the existence of kernels and cokernels, and define homological objects in an intrinsic way, using ideals.
