Abelian categories have homology #

In this file, it is shown that all short complexes S in abelian categories have terms of type S.HomologyData.

The strategy of the proof is to study the morphism kernel.ι S.g ≫ cokernel.π S.f. We show that there is a LeftHomologyData for S for which the H field consists of the coimage of kernel.ι S.g ≫ cokernel.π S.f, while there is a RightHomologyData for which the H is the image of kernel.ι S.g ≫ cokernel.π S.f. The fact that these left and right homology data are compatible (i.e. provide a HomologyData) is obtained by using the coimage-image isomorphism in abelian categories.

The canonical morphism Abelian.image S.f ⟶ kernel S.g for a short complex S in an abelian category.
