We show that every additive category with kernels and cokernels admits a maximal exact structure. Moreover, we discuss two examples of categories of the latter type arising from functional analysis.

We show that the idempotent completion of an n-angulated category admits a unique n-angulated structure such that the inclusion is an n-angulated functor, which satisfies a universal property.

Sieg and Wegner showed that the stable exact sequences define a maximal exact structure (in the sense of Quillen) in any pre-abelian category. We generalize this result for weakly idempotent complete additive categories.

A locally coherent exact category is a finitely accessible additive category endowed with an exact structure in which the admissible short exact sequences are the directed colimits of admissible short exact sequences of finitely presentable…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We show that an $n$-extension closed subcategory of an $n$-exangulated category naturally inherits an $n$-exangulated structure through restriction of the ambient $n$-exangulated structure. Furthermore, we…

Building on previous work, we study the splitting of idempotents in the category of extensions $\mathbb{E}\operatorname{-Ext}(\mathcal{C})$ associated to a pair $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E})$ of an additive category and a biadditive functor to…

Rump has recently showed the existence of a unique maximal Quillen exact structure on any additive category. We study when this is given by the stable short exact sequences, i.e. kernel-cokernel pairs consisting of a semi-stable kernel and…

We initiate in this article the study of weakly exact structures, a generalization of Quillen exact structures. We introduce weak counterparts of one-sided exact structures and show that a left and a right weakly exact structure generate a…

We define model structures on exact categories which we call exact model structures. We look at the relationship between these model structures and cotorsion pairs on the exact category. In particular, when the underlying category is weakly…

We relate the theory of purity of a locally finitely presented category with products to the study of exact structures on the full subcategory of finitely presented objects. Properties in the context of purity are translated to properties…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be an $(n+2)$-angulated Krull-Schmidt category and $\mathscr{A} \subset \mathscr{F}$ an $n$-extension closed, additive and full subcategory with $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathscr{F}}(\Sigma_n \mathscr{A}, \mathscr{A}) = 0$.…

In an abelian category $\mathscr{A}$ with small ${\rm Ext}$ groups, we show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between any two of the following: balanced pairs, subfunctors $\mathcal{F}$ of ${\rm Ext}^{1}_{\mathscr{A}}(-,-)$ such…

We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…

Several important types of categories have been shown to be both exact and coexact (in the sense of Barr). The first type consists of abelian categories, which due to their self-dual definition, can be seen to be both exact and coexact by…

We introduce the notion of an $n$-exact dg-category. This notion provides a higher analogue of Chen's exact dg-category, in the sense that the case where $n$ equals 1 recovers exact dg-categories. We prove that, under a suitable vanishing…

In this paper, we study ideal approximation theory associated to almost $n$-exact structures in extension closed subcategories of $n$-angulated categories. For $n=3$, an $n$-angulated category is nothing but a classical triangulated…

Let $\mathscr{C}$ be a Krull-Schmidt $n$-exangulated category and $\mathscr{A}$ be an $n$-extension closed subcategory of $\mathscr{C}$. Then $\mathscr{A}$ inherits the $n$-exangulated structure from the given $n$-exangulated category in a…

A collection $\mathcal S$ of equivalence classes of positive definite integral quadratic forms in $n$ variables is called an $n$-exceptional set if there exists a positive definite integral quadratic form which represents all equivalence…

Examples of exact categories in representation theory are given by the category of Delta-filtered modules over quasi-hereditary algebras, but also by various categories related to matrix problems, such as poset representations or…

We give a classification of all exact structures on a given idempotent complete additive category. Using this, we investigate the structure of an exact category with finitely many indecomposables. We show that the relation of the…
