Protolocalisations of homological categories (Q927328): Difference between revisions

Homological categories (regular category with zero object satisfying the split short five lemma) are powerful noncommutative substitutes of abelian categories. A protolocalisation of a homological category is a regular full reflective subcategory whose reflection preserves short exact sequences. With this notion, the closure operation and the associated torsion theory are studied. Examples are given in algebra, topos theory and functional analysis.
