Degree-zero homology under preserved kernels #

For an ℕ-indexed cochain complex, degree-zero homology is its degree-zero cycle object: there is no incoming differential. A functor preserving the outgoing kernel of this complex preserves these cycles, so its degreewise extension commutes with degree-zero homology. The comparison is natural in the complex when the corresponding kernel is preserved at each endpoint.

This is a statement about ordinary complexes. It does not identify degree-zero homology of a right-derived functor with its underived functor; that requires an injective-resolution comparison.

Implementation notes #

The incoming differential at zero vanishes. Mathlib's canonical isomorphism from cycles to homology and its preserved-cycles isomorphism give the result. An additive left-exact functor between abelian categories supplies the local homology and preservation instances in this statement.

Mapping an ℕ-indexed cochain complex through a functor that preserves its outgoing degree-zero kernel commutes with degree-zero homology, when both homology objects exist.
