A cohomological δ-functor F is effaceable when every object X admits a
mono into an I killed by F^{n+1} for every n.
Instances For
A weaker form of effaceability: every X admits a mono into some I such
that F^{n+1} sends i to zero, without requiring F^{n+1}(I) itself to vanish.
Instances For
Pointwise effaceability: for any test morphism into F^{n+1}(X), we can find
a mono φ : X ⟶ N after composition with which the morphism becomes zero.
Instances For
Effaceable implies effaceable-morphism: if F^{n+1}(I) is zero then so is
any map into it.
Effaceable-morphism implies pointwise effaceable: precompose by the test morphism.
Converse: pointwise effaceability specialized to the identity recovers effaceable-morphism.
Effaceable implies pointwise effaceable via the morphism formulation.
The two intermediate effaceability notions are equivalent.
If F^{n+1} kills the monomorphism S.f, then the connecting morphism
δ_n is an epimorphism, by exactness of the long exact sequence.
If F^{n+1} vanishes on the middle term S.X₂, the connecting morphism
δ_n is an epimorphism.
Uniqueness for effaceable δ-functors: a morphism F → G of δ-functors out
of an effaceable F is determined by its degree-zero component.
Uniqueness under the weaker effaceable-morphism hypothesis: the degree-zero component still pins down the entire morphism of δ-functors.
Uniqueness in the pointwise formulation, deduced from the morphism version.
Compatibility condition needed to inductively define the next component of a
morphism of δ-functors: the composite (F^n)(g) ; η_n ; δ_n^G vanishes.
Inductive construction (as a raw family of natural transformations) of a morphism of δ-functors extending a given degree-zero component.
Existence: any degree-zero natural transformation η₀ : F^0 → G^0 extends
to a morphism of δ-functors.
Existence in the pointwise effaceability formulation.
An effaceable-morphism δ-functor is universal: this is the existence-plus-
uniqueness statement underlying Prop 41 of Lec 23 (F^i universal ⟺ effaceable).
Universality under the pointwise effaceability hypothesis.
Universality under the strongest effaceability hypothesis (objects, not just morphisms).
