	Derived functor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		On the derived functor analogy in the Cuntz-Quillen framework for cyclic homology, by Guillermo Cortiñas
		The purpose of this paper is to formalize this derived functor analogy.
		We show that the localization of the category of countably indexed pro-algebras at the class of deformations exists, and that periodic cyclic homology is the derived functor of de Rham (co)homology with respect to this localization.

	PlanetMath: derived functor
		Note that a completely analogous construction can be done for right-exact functors and for contravariant functors exact on either side, but it is traditional to only describe one case, as doing the others mostly consists of reversing arrows (and replacing ``injective'' with projective when appropriate).
		Sheaf cohomology arises as the right derived functors of the global section functor on sheaves.

		Algebra of continuous functions: a contravariant functor from the category of topological spaces (with continuous maps as morphisms) to the category of real associative algebras is given by assigning to every topological space X the algebraC(X) of all real-valued continuous functions on that space.

		Functors become much more useful when you want to call functions that look the same (have the same parameters and return value) without knowing what class or object they belong to.
		So functors can be pretty handy things, but it's a bit of a pain to have to rewrite the classes if different numbers of parameters or a different return type are required.
		The delegate and functor classes are put in their own namespace, so that they are one manageable unit.

	Callbacks in C++ using template functors
		These Functor classes are sufficient to meet the callback needs of component designers, as they offer a standard and consistent way to offer callback services, and a simple mechanism for invoking the callback function.
		The Functor class is parameterized on the types of the callback function signature, holds the callee data in a typeless manner, and defines a typed operators but doesn't actually perform the work of calling back.
		Here, makefunctor is parameterized with the type of the argument to the Functor, the type of the Callee, the type of the class of which the member-function is a member, and the argument and return types of the member function.

		For instance this derived categroy of coherent sheaves is equivalent to what is called a triangulated Fukaya categroy and also to (at least for a large number of cases) the derived category of representations of some quiver (which I mentioned already in part III).
		The derivation of this could be summarized by a couple of sub-steps, which are however not strictly necessary in order to move on to step 4.
		These complexes are of course precisely the objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves, as described in part I.
