Compact objects in a triangulated category #

Compact objects form a thick triangulated subcategory. The extension step is the five lemma applied to the compactness comparison maps and the long exact Hom sequence of a distinguished triangle. Closure under retracts is proved by observing that the comparison map for a retract is itself a retract in the arrow category.

Exact coproducts in additive commutative groups may be indexed in the universe immediately below the carrier universe.

A shift of a compact object is compact in the same indexing universe.

A retract of a compact object is compact.
