The aim of this section is to give a proof of the following theorem, which is the first half of Theorem 2.4.
Theorem 4.1. Let be a triangulated category with set indexed coproducts. Suppose is a compact simply connected corigid object of . Further assume that is a generating set in . Then the following forms a non-degenerate co--structure on :
Note that .
In order to prove this we need a lemma analogous to Lemma 3.3. This is an immediate consequence of the next lemma.
Lemma 4.2. Let be a compact object of a triangulated category and suppose we have a sequence of objects and morphisms
such that is an isomorphism for each . Then .
Proof: It is well-known that the filtered colimit, , is isomorphic to . The assertion now follows by Lemma 3.5.
Proof of Theorem 4.1: Conditions and of the definition of a co--structure are clear.
In order to show assume and . Recall that . By Proposition 3.6 there exists an -preenvelope , that is, we have a surjection of Hom spaces
It is therefore sufficient to show .
We have the following isomorphism of Hom-spaces and trivial Hom-spaces:
It follows that for all . The assumption that is a generating set in implies that . Thus and we see that . Hence .
We next show condition . Suppose is an object of . By Proposition 3.6 there is an -preenvelope . Write and extend the morphism to a distinguished triangle:
| (4.1) |
We claim that for . Consider the following long exact sequence obtained from (4.1):
Now, by Lemma 4.3, we see that is an isomorphism for all . Hence for all and . Hence the distinguished triangle in (4.1) above gives us the required distinguished triangle.
It is clear that because is a generating set for . Hence is a non-degenerate co--structure on .
