Then $\\mathscr{A}$ naturally carries the structure of an $n$-exact category in the sense of Jasso, arising from short $(n+2)$-angles in $\\mathscr{F}$ with objects in $\\mathscr{A}$ and there is a binatural and bilinear isomorphism $\\operatorname{YExt}^{n}_{(\\mathscr{A},\\mathscr{E}_{\\mathscr{A}})}(A_{n+1},A_0) \\cong \\operatorname{Hom}_{\\mathscr{F}}(A_{n+1}, \\Sigma_n A_{0})$ for $A_0, A_{n+1} \\in \\mathscr{A}$. For $n = 1$ this has been shown by Dyer and we generalize this result to the case $n > 1$. On the journey to this result, we also develop a technique for harvesting information from the higher octahedral axiom (N4*) as defined by Bergh and Thaule. Additionally, we show that the axiom (F3) for pre-$(n+2)$-angulated categories, introduced by Geiss, Keller and Oppermann and stating that a commutative square can be extended to a morphism of $(n+2)$-angles, implies a stronger version of itself.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-10T11:14:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "18G99", "18G80" ], "keywords": [ "exact category", "exact categories arising", "angulated categories", "higher octahedral axiom", "angulated krull-schmidt category" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
