Basic definitions for factorizations lemmas #
We define the class of morphisms
degreewiseEpiWithInjectiveKernel : MorphismProperty (CochainComplex C ℤ)
in the category of cochain complexes in an abelian category C.
When restricted to the full subcategory of bounded below cochain complexes in an
abelian category C that has enough injectives, this is the class of
fibrations for a model category structure on the bounded below
category of cochain complexes in C. In this folder, we intend to prove two factorization
lemmas in the category of bounded below cochain complexes (TODO):
- CM5a: any morphism
K ⟶ Lcan be factored asK ⟶ K' ⟶ Lwherei : K ⟶ K'is a trivial cofibration (a mono that is also a quasi-isomorphisms) andp : K' ⟶ Lis a fibration. - CM5b: any morphism
K ⟶ Lcan be factored asK ⟶ L' ⟶ Lwherei : K ⟶ L'is a cofibration (i.e. a mono) andp : L' ⟶ Lis a trivial fibration (i.e. a quasi-isomorphism which is also a fibration)
The difficult part is CM5a (whose proof uses CM5b). These lemmas shall be essential
ingredients in the proof that the bounded below derived category of an abelian
category C with enough injectives identifies to the bounded below homotopy category
of complexes of injective objects in C. This will be used in the construction
of total derived functors (and a refactor of the sequence of derived functors).
A morphism of cochain complexes φ in an abelian category satisfies
degreewiseEpiWithInjectiveKernel φ if for any i : ℤ, the morphism
φ.f i is an epimorphism with an injective kernel.
