 | | By definition, the horsehoe resolution $P_B$ is a free resolution of $B$, together with a short exact sequence of chain complexes $$0 \longrightarrow P_A \longrightarrow P_B \longrightarrow P_C \longrightarrow 0$$ extending the original short exact sequence. |
 | | The horseshoe resolution is used to construct the connecting homomorphism for any left-exact, or contravariant right exact functor, e.g. |
 | | We wish to determine from the exact sequence $$ 0 \longrightarrow A \longrightarrow B \longrightarrow C \longrightarrow 0,$$ the matrix $C_1 \rightarrow A_0$, where $A_0$ is the free module mapping onto $A$, and $C_1 \rightarrow C_0$ is the presentation matrix of $C$. |
