Idempotent completeness
We say a category $\mathcal{N}$ is exact if it is additive and is endowed with an exact structure. In brief, it is an additive category with a predetermined class of short exact sequences in its ...

Can one bypass the geometric realization in the definition of algebraic $K$-theory?
I believe there is no good notion of homotopy groups for an arbitrary simplicial set $S$. However, when $S$ is fibrant - meaning that $S\to *$ is a fibration - there is a definition. The singular ...

On image of map $\text{Ext}^1_R(X,F)\to \text{Ext}^1_R(X,G)$ induced by $R$-linear map of free modules $F\to G$ with entries in the maximal ideal
$\DeclareMathOperator\Ext{Ext}$Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring. Let $F,G$ be finitely generated free $R$-modules and $f:F\to G$ be an $R$-linear map such that $f(F)\subseteq \mathfrak ...

$K$-theory with respect to two different choices of quasi-isomorphisms
This question is related to another question asked here. Let's assume we have an exact category $C$ that consists of specific vector bundles on a variety. Furthermore assume $C$ is idempotent complete ...

Beck-Chevalley condition on pushouts
Let $C$ be a regular category with pushouts and $S(X)$ is the lattice of subjects of $X$. For every arrow $f\colon X\to A$, pulling back along $f$ gives a map $f^*\colon S(A)\to S(X)$ which has a left ...

Are product / coproduct projections / inclusions 'semistrict'?
Let $\mathbf{C}$ be a category with zero object, kernels, and cokernels. Then, a morphism $f\colon A\rightarrow B$ in $\mathbf{C}$ is semistrict iff the canonical map $\operatorname{Coker}(\ker (f))\...

Extension-closed subcategories of triangulated categories as "almost exact" categories
Did anybody study those subcategories of triangulated categories that are closed with respect to "extensions" (in the sense of distinguished triangles; in particular, any such $B$ is additive)? If we ...

Does the stable category of a nice exact category embed in (the underlying category of) a derivator?
In Derivators, Pointed Derivators, and Stable Derivators, Moritz Groth gives as an example of a non-invertible morphism with trivial cone an inclusion $f:X\to I$. Here $X$ is an object of injective ...

Is the product of two categories with cofibrations still a category with cofibrations?
Given two $k$-linear categories $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal D$ which are "categories with cofibrations" (in the Waldhausen sense),
is the product category $\mathcal C\times \mathcal D$ still a category ...

Could one recover the relative K-theory from the quotient derived category?
Let $A\to B$ be a full embedding of exact categories that induces an embedding $D^b(A)\to D^b(B)$. My question is: what can one say about the relation of the homotopy cofibre $K(A)\to K(B)$ (the ...

Split exact categories arising naturally
If you're interested in the $K$-theory of rings, a useful feature of the exact category of finitely generated projective (or free) modules is that it is split exact, i.e. every short exact sequence is ...

Given an exact category, viewed as a site, do there exist non-additive sheaves?
Suppose given an exact category $\mathcal{C}$. The following question arises while proving the Gabriel-Quillen-Laumon embedding theorem following Laumon [1].
Laumon constructs an abelian category $\...

Ex/reg toposes without generic monomorphisms
A generic monomorphism is a monomorphism of which every monomorphisms in the same category is a pullback; it is like a subobject classifier without uniqueness. I am looking for a locally Cartesian ...

Quasi-isomorphisms in exact categories
I am trying to understand quasi-isomorphisms in an exact category as defined via the mapping cylinder. I would like to know whether these form a category of weak equivalences in the sense of ...
