Homological category

Definition

A category CC is called homological if it is

  1. pointed

  2. regular

  3. protomodular.

Properties

Many of the standard results of classical homological algebra in abelian categories extend to homological categories:

A homological category which is Barr-exact and has finite coproducts is semiabelian.

Examples

Example

The category Grp of all groups (including non-abelian groups) is homological. Namely it is

  1. regular, by this example,

  2. pointed protomodular by this example.
