(Co)chain complexes, abelian Categories, (pre)sheaves, (co)homology in various (possibly highly generalized) settings, spectra, derived functors, resolutions, spectral sequences, homotopy categories. Chain complexes in an abelian category form the heart of homological algebra.

Left exact functor $F$ preserves quasi-isomorphism between $F$-acyclics

It's not true, without boundedness conditions, that a left exact functor always preserves quasi-isomorphisms between complexes of $F$-acyclic objects. As alluded to in the question, a chain map is a q …

Reference request: locally erasable delta-functor is universal

This is Proposition 4.2 in Buchsbaum’s Satellites and universal functors, Annals of Mathematics 71(2), pp. 199–209 (1960). Well, to be precise, that is the dual result (for contravariant functors). Bu …

A particular morphism being zero in the singularity category

Yes. More generally, if $\mathcal{T}$ is a triangulated category and $\mathcal{S}$ is a thick subcategory, then any morphism $\varphi:M\to N$ of $\mathcal{T}$ that becomes zero in $\mathcal{T}/\mathca …

Minimality of the Koszul resolution

In the category of ungraded bimodules, the multiplication map $R\otimes_\mathbb{C}R\to R$ is not a projective cover. For example, the proper sub-bimodule of $R\otimes_\mathbb{C}R$ generated by $1\otim …

Does hereditary and connected imply that the underlying ring $k$ of a $k$-algebra is a field?

$R$ doesn't need to be connected, so long as $k$ is (and if $R$ is connected then $k$ is, since a nontrivial idempotent of $k$ would be a nontrivial central idempotent of $R$). Also, $R$ doesn't need …

A formula for the projective dimension of finite dimensional algebras

There are very easy examples (e.g., the path algebra of an $A_2$ quiver) where there is a nonzero projective module $P$ with $\operatorname{Hom}_A(P,\underline{A})=0$, so I assume you mean $\sup(\empt …

Comparing stabilization of stable category modulo injectives and a Verdier localization

This follows by applying Theorem 3.8 of Beligiannis' 2000 paper to the opposite categories. $\mathcal{I}$ is a full additive subcategory of $\mathcal{A}$, closed under direct summands. It is covariant …

Are module finite algebras over semiperfect rings again semiperfect?

No, even if $S$ is commutative. There may be easier counterexamples, but ... There are commutative Noetherian local (and therefore semiperfect) rings $S$ with a finitely generated indecomposable modul …

Using the mapping cone to show that a chain map defines a stable equivalence between two sym...

I'll give three answers, which basically say: (A) it doesn't matter, (B) it's not true, and (C) here's (a sketch of) a proof. But before that, there are a couple of relevant conditions in Linckelmann' …

Vanishing of $\operatorname{Ext}_R^{1}(M,R)$ when $R$ is a Gorenstein local ring of dimensio...

Take $R=\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ for some prime $p$, with $x=p$, and $M=\mathbb{Q}\oplus R$. To show that this is a counterexample, the only nonobvious thing to show is that $\operatorname{Ext}^{1}_{R}(\math …

Semi-projective complexes of modules over a finite group

I think I have a counterexample. Let $\operatorname{char}(k)=3$ and let $G$ be the symmetric group $S_{3}$. Then $kG$ has two simple modules: the trivial module $k$ and another one-dimensional module …

Decompose an unbounded (cochain) complex in the homotopy category

Yes. Let $$\tau^{\leq0}A^\bullet:= \cdots\to A^{-2}\to A^{-1}\to\ker(d^0)\to0\to\cdots$$ be the usual truncation of $A^\bullet$. Then the mapping cone of the inclusion map $\tau^{\leq0}A^\bullet\to A^ …

Unbounded acyclic resolutions

I'm afraid this is not very close to the case that you say you're most interested in ... maybe you want $F$ to preserve products? But let $A=k[x]/(x^2)$, and let $\mathscr{A}$ be the category $\operat …

Finitely generated module, which is a virtually small complex, embeds into a module of finit...

For every $M$, $M\oplus R$ is virtually small, so your question is equivalent to the question: Does every finitely generated $R$-module embed in a finitely generated module of finite projective dimen …

Injective modules

Yes. Let $M$ be any $A$-module. Then its socle is a direct sum of simple modules: $\operatorname{soc}A=\bigoplus_iS_i$. $A$ is a finite dimensional algebra, so the dual $\mathrm{Hom}_k(A,k)$ of $A$ is …
