On long exact \((\bar{\pi},\text{Ext}_\lambda)\)-sequences in module theory (Q1774753)

For any module \(A\) over a ring \(\Lambda\), the right derived functors of \(\text{Hom}_{\Lambda}(A,-)\) produce a natural long exact sequence, which is the usual \(\text{Hom}\)-\(\text{Ext}\) sequence. Similarly, the left derived functors of \(\text{Hom}_{\Lambda}(A,-)\) (the homotopy groups) form an exact sequence. The author combines these two sequences into a large long exact sequence, which is infinite in both directions (Theorem 2.2 and 4.2). The dual statements are also true for \(\text{Hom}_{\Lambda}(-,A)\). The proof uses only elementary homological algebra. The main idea is to form the Yoneda composition of a projective resolution and an injective resolution of \(A\) and then to use this as a ``resolution'' of \(A\).
