Per Manne 2012-05-10T08:41:56Z 2012-05-10T08:41:56Z <p>I was once told of a paper in homological algebra where a new class of functors was introduced, generalizing Ext and Tor. For some years they were studied, and various properties were proved. Finally someone managed to give a complete description of the entire class. It consisted of two elements, Ext and Tor. (Sorry, I don't have more details.)</p>
