Reference request: locally erasable delta-functor is universal

It is well-documented that an erasable delta-functor $(F^n,\delta)$ is universal. However, in 'small' abelian categories (in the technical sense or otherwise), there aren't always enough objects to ...

contravariant finiteness and limit closure: is there dual to a result of Crawley-Boevey?

Let $\mathcal A$ be a locally finitely presented category. Theorem 4.2 of https://doi.org/10.1080/00927879408824927 says that given a full additive subcategory $\mathcal D$ of finitely presented ...

Are hearts of all $t$-structures on smashing triangulated categories closed with respect to coproducts (also)?

Let $T$ be a triangulated category closed with respect to (small) coproducts, and $t$ be (an arbitrary!) a $t$-structure on $T$. I have noted that the heart $\underline{Ht}$ of $t$ is closed with ...

How to compute Ext-groups for categories without enough injectives/projectives?

I am studying a category of representations of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra, which is an abelian category. Unfortunately, the category does not have enough injectives/projectives. I would ...

Explicit chain homotopy for the Alexander-Whitney, Eilenberg-Zilber pair

Let $A$ and $B$ be simplicial abelian groups, and let $N_\ast(-)$ denote the normalized chain complex functor. Let $$AW_{A,B}\colon N_\ast(A\otimes B) \longrightarrow N_\ast(A)\otimes N_\ast(B)$$ and ...
