Topic: Short exact sequence


  
  Exact sequence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, especially in homological algebra and other applications of abelian category theory, as well as in group theory, an exact sequence is a (finite or infinite) sequence of objects and morphisms between them such that the image of one morphism equals the kernel of the next.
When dealing with exact sequences of groups, it is common to write 1 instead of 0 for the trivial group with a single element.
The five lemma gives conditions under which the middle map in a commutative diagram with exact rows of length 5 is an isomorphism; the short five lemma is a special case thereof applying to short exact sequences.

If an exact sequence begins 0 → a → b, the image of 0 is 0, which becomes the kernel of a, hence a embeds in b.
If an exact sequence ends b → c → 0, c is the kernel of the second homomorphism, and the image of the first, hence b maps onto c.
If a short exact sequence is split exact, then b is the direct product of a and c, at least up to isomorphism.

Exact sequences often occur and are often used in (co)homological considerations.
Analogous long exact sequences occur in a variety of other homology and cohomology theories.
Homology theory; Cohomology; Cohomology sequence; Homology sequence, and various articles on the (co)homology of various kinds of objects, such as Cohomology of algebras; Cohomology of groups; Cohomology of Lie algebras.

An exact sequence is a chain of groups connected by homomorphisms such that the image of any one homomorphism in the chain is the kernel of the next homomorphism.
A short exact sequence is one with only five groups in it, the first and last of which are both the trivial group.
A short exact sequence is related to the quotient operation on groups.

A homology theory on a triangulated category S is an exact functor to an Abelian category which preserves the coproducts that exist in S. Unless we state otherwise, the target category will always be taken to be the category Ab of Abelian groups.

A linear extension of B by a bimodule D is a category C with the same objects as B, together with short exact sequences D(A, B) -j!C(A, B) -p!B(A, B) such that p is a functor and j(p(f)*p(g)*u) = g O j(u) O f.

It follows that a cofibre sequence of dg A-objects also induces a lo* *ng exact sequence in homology, but cofibre sequences have the advantage that they are pr* *eserved by application of Hom(.; Y) and Hom(X;.), and hence they also induce long exact * *sequences on applying [.; Y ] and [X;.].

(a particular case of this is the spectral sequence of a Serre fibration).
The general constructions referred to above also give the spectral sequence of a mapping and take into account (along with their cohomological structure) the degree of disconnectedness of pre-images of points; this is especially effective for zero-dimensional or finite-to-one mappings (in the case of coverings it becomes the Cartan spectral sequence).

The sequence is said to be ``exact at V
An exact sequence 0 --> U --> V --> V/U --> 0 is called a ``short exact sequence''; an exact sequence involving four or more vector spaces between the initial and final zero is called a ``long exact sequence''.
In any exact sequence of finite-dimensional vector spaces with an initial and final zero, the dimensions of the even- and odd-numbered vector spaces in the sequence have the same sum; in other words, the alternating sum of the dimensions (a.k.a.

In work related to the classification of automorphisms of 3-manifolds, I obtain a short exact sequence relating various mapping class groups (diffeotopy groups) associated to a compression body of arbitrary dimension.
This is applied to obtain a short exact sequence for the mapping class group of a reducible 3-manifold M. The sequence gives the mapping class group of the disjoint union of irreducible summands of M as a quotient of the entire mapping class group of M. There are further applications.
For example, a short exact sequence which gives information about the mapping class group of a 3-manifold which has a "rigid characteristic decomposition."
