Key Concepts

Connecting Homomorphism

The connecting homomorphism is a key component in the construction of long exact sequences in homology or cohomology. It bridges the gap between different levels of the sequence by linking the failure of exactness in one part to the structure in another. This homomorphism often arises from the boundary maps in the snake lemma and is essential for tracking the transfer of extension information through a sequence.

Commutative Diagrams

Commutative diagrams are graphical representations of algebraic structures where multiple paths lead to the same result. They are vital in homological algebra for showing that different operations and compositions, such as push-outs and pull-backs, result in the same homomorphism. Their use ensures that various constructions like connecting homomorphisms or induced maps commute with other functorial actions, maintaining the consistency of the algebraic framework.

Exact Sequence in Hom and Ext

An exact sequence is a sequence of maps between objects (such as modules or abelian groups) where the kernel of one map equals the image of the preceding map. In the context of the Hom functor and extension groups, establishing exactness of sequences like Hom(C, A) ? Hom(C, A'') ? e(C, A') ensures the transformation of additive structure is well-behaved, and preserves the kernel-image relationships, which is fundamental for many arguments in homological algebra.

Extension Group

Extension groups, often denoted by e(C, A') or Ext groups, are collections of equivalence classes of extensions of modules. They capture the ways in which one module can be extended by another and provide a framework to study the non-triviality of such extensions and obstructions to splitting.

Hom Functor

The Hom functor, Hom_R(C, -), is a construction that assigns to every module M the abelian group of R-linear maps from a fixed module C to M. It is covariant and transforms exact sequences into sequences of abelian groups, which may then be analyzed for exactness or extended to construct long exact sequences in cohomology.

Short Exact Sequence

A short exact sequence is a sequence of module homomorphisms 0 ? A' ? A ? A'' ? 0 where the image of each map is exactly the kernel of the next. This exactness condition means that A is an extension of A'' by A', providing a context in which one studies how modules are built from or related to each other.
