Apr 10, 2023 at 22:54 comment added L. Xie @LeoAlonso An element in $Ext^n(M,N)$ corresponds to an $n$-extension that starts with $N$ and ends with $M$, right? Why is your extension starting with $M$ and ending with $N$?
Apr 10, 2023 at 10:38 comment added Leo Alonso @L.Xie Indeed, it was a typo. The derived category perspective makes things easier, though.

Apr 7, 2023 at 23:05 comment added L. Xie There are actually $n+1$ elements in between $M$ and $N$, this is an $ n+1$ extension, isn't it?

Feb 3, 2022 at 18:50 comment added user30211 @LeoAlonso Thanks. I think I got it from your comment after all.
Feb 3, 2022 at 18:40 comment added Leo Alonso @KindBubble Basically, there is a collection of isomorphism commuting with the identities of $N$ and $M$ (and among themselves). For more details see, for instance, Maclana, Homology, chapter III, §8, p. 96.
Feb 3, 2022 at 18:18 comment added user30211 @LeoAlonso what is the equivalence relation on extensions? Is it weak equivalence?
Feb 3, 2022 at 17:57 comment added Leo Alonso @KindBubble It is because injective resolutions are universal up to homotopy.
Feb 3, 2022 at 17:57 comment added Leo Alonso @ZhenLin Of course, I was answering the case in the question. As a matter of fact, my argument work whenever the base category is Grothendieck. In general it is not clear to me that Ext and Yoneda-Ext agree
Feb 3, 2022 at 17:46 comment added user30211 Sorry for not getting it yet, but how do the injective extensions correspond to ordinary ones?
Feb 3, 2022 at 14:13 comment added Zhen Lin Out of curiosity: I think the theorem for $\textrm{Ext}^1$ can be proved without assuming enough injectives. The OP asks about modules over a ring but we could equally ask about any abelian category.
