Homological category

Definition

A category CC is 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.
