We investigate here the more vague properties of 'homotopical exactness', appearing for instance in the fibre or cofibre sequence of a map. Such notions of exactness can be given for very general 'categories with homotopies' having homotopy kernels and cokernels, but become more interesting under suitable stability hypotheses, satisfied - in particular - by chain complexes. It is then possible to measure the default of homotopical exactness of a sequence by the homotopy type of a certain object, a sort of 'homotopical homology'.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-08-31T14:05:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55U35", "18G55", "55U15" ], "keywords": [ "homotopical algebra", "homotopical exactness", "chain complexes", "vague properties", "suitable stability hypotheses" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math......8236G" } } }
