Lemma 13.22.1. Let $\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}, \mathcal{C}$ be abelian categories. Let $F : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}$ and $G : \mathcal{B} \to \mathcal{C}$ be left exact functors. Assume $\mathcal{A}$, $\mathcal{B}$ have enough injectives. The following are equivalent

  1. $F(I)$ is right acyclic for $G$ for each injective object $I$ of $\mathcal{A}$, and

  2. the canonical map

    \[ t : R(G \circ F) \longrightarrow RG \circ RF. \]

    is isomorphism of functors from $D^{+}(\mathcal{A})$ to $D^{+}(\mathcal{C})$.

Proof. If (2) holds, then (1) follows by evaluating the isomorphism $t$ on $RF(I) = F(I)$. Conversely, assume (1) holds. Let $A^\bullet $ be a bounded below complex of $\mathcal{A}$. Choose an injective resolution $A^\bullet \to I^\bullet $. The map $t$ is given (see proof of Lemma 13.14.16) by the maps

\[ R(G \circ F)(A^\bullet ) = (G \circ F)(I^\bullet ) = G(F(I^\bullet ))) \to RG(F(I^\bullet )) = RG(RF(A^\bullet )) \]

where the arrow is an isomorphism by Lemma 13.16.7. $\square$

In (2), there's an extra "of functors".
