On Ideals and Homology in Additive Categories

Category Theory 2016-09-07 v2

Abstract

Ideals are used to define homological functors for additive categories. In abelian categories the ideals corresponding to the usual universal objects are principal, and the construction reduces, in a choice dependent way, to homology groups. Applications are considered: derived categories and functors.
