5.3. Split-exact sequences

We will be particularly interested in exact sequences which are split in the following sense.

Definition 5.18. An exact sequence of small κ\kappa-cocomplete stable ∞\infty-categories and κ\kappa-small colimit preserving functors

π’œ\textstyle{{\mathcal{A}}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}f\scriptstyle{f}ℬ\textstyle{{\mathcal{B}}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}g\scriptstyle{g}π’ž\textstyle{\mathcal{C}}

is called split-exact if there exist exact functors i:β„¬β†’π’œi\colon{\mathcal{B}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{A}} and j:π’žβ†’β„¬j\colon{\mathcal{C}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}, right adjoint to ff and gg, respectively, such that i∘f≃Idi\circ f\simeq\Id and g∘j≃Idg\circ j\simeq\Id via the adjunction morphisms.

We will also be interested in (split-) exact sequences of spectral categories.

Definition 5.19. A sequence π’œβ†’β„¬β†’π’ž{\mathcal{A}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{C}} of spectral categories is exact if the induced sequence of stable presentable ∞\infty-categories

N⁑(Ξ©βˆžβ€‹Mod​(π’œ)cf)⟢N⁑(Ξ©βˆžβ€‹Mod​(ℬ)cf)⟢N⁑(Ξ©βˆžβ€‹Mod​(π’ž)cf)\mathrm{N}(\Omega^{\infty}\Mod({\mathcal{A}})^{\cf})\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\mathrm{N}(\Omega^{\infty}\Mod({\mathcal{B}})^{\cf})\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\mathrm{N}(\Omega^{\infty}\Mod({\mathcal{C}})^{\cf})

is exact.

The following characterization is an immediate corollary of propositionΒ 5.15.

0NMA

Proposition 5.20. A sequence π’œβ†’β„¬β†’π’ž{\mathcal{A}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{C}} of spectral categories is exact if and only if the induced sequence of triangulated categories

π’Ÿβ‘(π’œ)βŸΆπ’Ÿβ‘(ℬ)βŸΆπ’Ÿβ‘(π’ž){\mathcal{D}}({\mathcal{A}})\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{D}}({\mathcal{B}})\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{D}}({\mathcal{C}})

is exact.

Next, observe that we can relate these notions as follows (the proof of which is immediate):

0NMB

Proposition 5.21. Let π’œβ†’β„¬β†’π’ž{\mathcal{A}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{C}} be an (split-) exact sequence of small spectral categories. Then Ξ¨perf​(π’œ)β†’Ξ¨perf​(ℬ)β†’Ξ¨perf​(π’ž)\Psi_{\perf}({\mathcal{A}})\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\Psi_{\perf}({\mathcal{B}})\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\Psi_{\perf}({\mathcal{C}}) is a (split-) exact sequence of small stable ∞\infty-categories.

We also have an essential converse statement.

0NMC

Proposition 5.22. Let π’œβ†’β„¬β†’π’ž{\mathcal{A}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{C}} be a (split-) exact sequence of small stable ∞\infty-categories. Then there exists a (split-) exact sequence of small stable spectral categories

π’œ~βŸΆβ„¬~βŸΆπ’ž~\widetilde{{\mathcal{A}}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\widetilde{{\mathcal{B}}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\widetilde{{\mathcal{C}}}

such that Ξ¨perf​(π’œ~→ℬ~β†’π’ž~)\Psi_{\perf}(\widetilde{{\mathcal{A}}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\widetilde{{\mathcal{B}}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}\widetilde{{\mathcal{C}}}) is naturally equivalent to π’œβ†’β„¬β†’π’ž{\mathcal{A}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}\mathchoice{\longrightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{C}}.

Proof. This follows from proposition 4.28. ∎
