Definition 13.9.9. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an additive category. A termwise split exact sequence of complexes of $\mathcal{A}$ is a complex of complexes

\[ 0 \to A^\bullet \xrightarrow {\alpha } B^\bullet \xrightarrow {\beta } C^\bullet \to 0 \]

together with given direct sum decompositions $B^ n = A^ n \oplus C^ n$ compatible with $\alpha ^ n$ and $\beta ^ n$. We often write $s^ n : C^ n \to B^ n$ and $\pi ^ n : B^ n \to A^ n$ for the maps induced by the direct sum decompositions. According to Homology, Lemma 12.14.10 we get an associated morphism of complexes

\[ \delta : C^\bullet \longrightarrow A^\bullet [1] \]

which in degree $n$ is the map $\pi ^{n + 1} \circ d_ B^ n \circ s^ n$. In other words $(A^\bullet , B^\bullet , C^\bullet , \alpha , \beta , \delta )$ forms a triangle

\[ A^\bullet \to B^\bullet \to C^\bullet \to A^\bullet [1] \]

This will be the triangle associated to the termwise split sequence of complexes.

Typo: In the definition of , I think it should say in degree it is given by the map (i.e. replace with ).

To make the terminology consistent with the next proposition (Tag 05SS), maybe this should be called a "termwise split exact sequence of complexes" ?
