13.26 Filtered derived category and injective resolutions

Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category. In this section we will show that if \mathcal{A} has enough injectives, then so does the category \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) in some sense. One can use this observation to compute in the filtered derived category of \mathcal{A}.

The category \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) is an example of an exact category, see Injectives, Remark 19.9.6. A special role is played by the strict morphisms, see Homology, Definition 12.19.3, i.e., the morphisms f such that \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(f) = \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(f). We will say that a complex A \to B \to C in \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) is exact if the sequence \text{gr}(A) \to \text{gr}(B) \to \text{gr}(C) is exact in \mathcal{A}. This implies that A \to B and B \to C are strict morphisms, see Homology, Lemma 12.19.15.

Definition 13.26.1. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category. We say an object I of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) is filtered injective if each \text{gr}^ p(I) is an injective object of \mathcal{A}.

Lemma 13.26.2. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category. An object I of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) is filtered injective if and only if there exist a \leq b, injective objects I_ n, a \leq n \leq b of \mathcal{A} and an isomorphism I \cong \bigoplus _{a \leq n \leq b} I_ n such that F^ pI = \bigoplus _{n \geq p} I_ n.

Proof. Follows from the fact that any injection J \to M of \mathcal{A} is split if J is an injective object. Details omitted. \square

Lemma 13.26.3. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category. Any strict monomorphism u : I \to A of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) where I is a filtered injective object is a split injection.

Proof. Let p be the largest integer such that F^ pI \not= 0. In particular \text{gr}^ p(I) = F^ pI. Let I' be the object of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) whose underlying object of \mathcal{A} is F^ pI and with filtration given by F^ nI' = 0 for n > p and F^ nI' = I' = F^ pI for n \leq p. Note that I' \to I is a strict monomorphism too. The fact that u is a strict monomorphism implies that F^ pI \to A/F^{p + 1}(A) is injective, see Homology, Lemma 12.19.13. Choose a splitting s : A/F^{p + 1}A \to F^ pI in \mathcal{A}. The induced morphism s' : A \to I' is a strict morphism of filtered objects splitting the composition I' \to I \to A. Hence we can write A = I' \oplus \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(s') and I = I' \oplus \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(s'|_ I). Note that \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(s'|_ I) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(s') is a strict monomorphism and that \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(s'|_ I) is a filtered injective object. By induction on the length of the filtration on I the map \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(s'|_ I) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(s') is a split injection. Thus we win. \square

Lemma 13.26.4. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category. Let u : A \to B be a strict monomorphism of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) and f : A \to I a morphism from A into a filtered injective object in \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}). Then there exists a morphism g : B \to I such that f = g \circ u.

Proof. The pushout f' : I \to I \amalg _ A B of f by u is a strict monomorphism, see Homology, Lemma 12.19.10. Hence the result follows formally from Lemma 13.26.3. \square

Lemma 13.26.5. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category with enough injectives. For any object A of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) there exists a strict monomorphism A \to I where I is a filtered injective object.

Proof. Pick a \leq b such that \text{gr}^ p(A) = 0 unless p \in \{ a, a + 1, \ldots , b\} . For each n \in \{ a, a + 1, \ldots , b\} choose an injection u_ n : A/F^{n + 1}A \to I_ n with I_ n an injective object. Set I = \bigoplus _{a \leq n \leq b} I_ n with filtration F^ pI = \bigoplus _{n \geq p} I_ n and set u : A \to I equal to the direct sum of the maps u_ n. \square

Lemma 13.26.6. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category with enough injectives. For any object A of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) there exists a filtered quasi-isomorphism A[0] \to I^\bullet where I^\bullet is a complex of filtered injective objects with I^ n = 0 for n < 0.

Proof. First choose a strict monomorphism u_0 : A \to I^0 of A into a filtered injective object, see Lemma 13.26.5. Next, choose a strict monomorphism u_1 : \mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(u_0) \to I^1 into a filtered injective object of \mathcal{A}. Denote d^0 the induced map I^0 \to I^1. Next, choose a strict monomorphism u_2 : \mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(u_1) \to I^2 into a filtered injective object of \mathcal{A}. Denote d^1 the induced map I^1 \to I^2. And so on. This works because each of the sequences

0 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(u_ n) \to I^{n + 1} \to \mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(u_{n + 1}) \to 0

is short exact, i.e., induces a short exact sequence on applying \text{gr}. To see this use Homology, Lemma 12.19.13. \square

Lemma 13.26.7. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category with enough injectives. Let f : A \to B be a morphism of \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}). Given filtered quasi-isomorphisms A[0] \to I^\bullet and B[0] \to J^\bullet where I^\bullet , J^\bullet are complexes of filtered injective objects with I^ n = J^ n = 0 for n < 0, then there exists a commutative diagram

\xymatrix{ A[0] \ar[r] \ar[d] & B[0] \ar[d] \\ I^\bullet \ar[r] & J^\bullet }

Proof. As A[0] \to I^\bullet and C[0] \to J^\bullet are filtered quasi-isomorphisms we conclude that a : A \to I^0, b : B \to J^0 and all the morphisms d_ I^ n, d_ J^ n are strict, see Homology, Lemma 12.19.15. We will inductively construct the maps f^ n in the following commutative diagram

\xymatrix{ A \ar[r]_ a \ar[d]_ f & I^0 \ar[r] \ar[d]^{f^0} & I^1 \ar[r] \ar[d]^{f^1} & I^2 \ar[r] \ar[d]^{f^2} & \ldots \\ B \ar[r]^ b & J^0 \ar[r] & J^1 \ar[r] & J^2 \ar[r] & \ldots }

Because A \to I^0 is a strict monomorphism and because J^0 is filtered injective, we can find a morphism f^0 : I^0 \to J^0 such that f^0 \circ a = b \circ f, see Lemma 13.26.4. The composition d_ J^0 \circ b \circ f is zero, hence d_ J^0 \circ f^0 \circ a = 0, hence d_ J^0 \circ f^0 factors through a unique morphism

\mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(a) = \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ I^0) = \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ I^0) \longrightarrow J^1.

As \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ I^0) \to I^1 is a strict monomorphism we can extend the displayed arrow to a morphism f^1 : I^1 \to J^1 by Lemma 13.26.4 again. And so on. \square

Lemma 13.26.8. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category with enough injectives. Let 0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0 be a short exact sequence in \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}). Given filtered quasi-isomorphisms A[0] \to I^\bullet and C[0] \to J^\bullet where I^\bullet , J^\bullet are complexes of filtered injective objects with I^ n = J^ n = 0 for n < 0, then there exists a commutative diagram

\xymatrix{ 0 \ar[r] & A[0] \ar[r] \ar[d] & B[0] \ar[r] \ar[d] & C[0] \ar[r] \ar[d] & 0 \\ 0 \ar[r] & I^\bullet \ar[r] & M^\bullet \ar[r] & J^\bullet \ar[r] & 0 }

where the lower row is a termwise split sequence of complexes.

Proof. As A[0] \to I^\bullet and C[0] \to J^\bullet are filtered quasi-isomorphisms we conclude that a : A \to I^0, c : C \to J^0 and all the morphisms d_ I^ n, d_ J^ n are strict, see Homology, Lemma 13.13.4. We are going to step by step construct the south-east and the south arrows in the following commutative diagram

\xymatrix{ B \ar[r]_\beta \ar[rd]^ b & C \ar[r]_ c \ar[rd]^{\overline{b}} & J^0 \ar[d]^{\delta ^0} \ar[r] & J^1 \ar[d]^{\delta ^1} \ar[r] & \ldots \\ A \ar[u]^\alpha \ar[r]^ a & I^0 \ar[r] & I^1 \ar[r] & I^2 \ar[r] & \ldots }

As A \to B is a strict monomorphism, we can find a morphism b : B \to I^0 such that b \circ \alpha = a, see Lemma 13.26.4. As A is the kernel of the strict morphism I^0 \to I^1 and \beta = \mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(\alpha ) we obtain a unique morphism \overline{b} : C \to I^1 fitting into the diagram. As c is a strict monomorphism and I^1 is filtered injective we can find \delta ^0 : J^0 \to I^1, see Lemma 13.26.4. Because B \to C is a strict epimorphism and because B \to I^0 \to I^1 \to I^2 is zero, we see that C \to I^1 \to I^2 is zero. Hence d_ I^1 \circ \delta ^0 is zero on C \cong \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(c). Hence d_ I^1 \circ \delta ^0 factors through a unique morphism

\mathop{\mathrm{Coker}}(c) = \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ J^0) = \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ J^0) \longrightarrow I^2.

As I^2 is filtered injective and \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ J^0) \to J^1 is a strict monomorphism we can extend the displayed morphism to a morphism \delta ^1 : J^1 \to I^2, see Lemma 13.26.4. And so on. We set M^\bullet = I^\bullet \oplus J^\bullet with differential

d_ M^ n = \left( \begin{matrix} d_ I^ n & (-1)^{n + 1}\delta ^ n \\ 0 & d_ J^ n \end{matrix} \right)

Finally, the map B[0] \to M^\bullet is given by b \oplus c \circ \beta : M \to I^0 \oplus J^0. \square

Lemma 13.26.9. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category with enough injectives. For every K^\bullet \in K^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) there exists a filtered quasi-isomorphism K^\bullet \to I^\bullet with I^\bullet bounded below, each I^ n a filtered injective object, and each K^ n \to I^ n a strict monomorphism.

Proof. After replacing K^\bullet by a shift (which is harmless for the proof) we may assume that K^ n = 0 for n < 0. Consider the short exact sequences

\begin{matrix} 0 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(d_ K^0) \to K^0 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ K^0) \to 0 \\ 0 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(d_ K^1) \to K^1 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ K^1) \to 0 \\ 0 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(d_ K^2) \to K^2 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ K^2) \to 0 \\ \ldots \end{matrix}

of the exact category \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) and the maps u_ i : \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ K^ i) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(d_ K^{i + 1}). For each i \geq 0 we may choose filtered quasi-isomorphisms

\begin{matrix} \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(d_ K^ i)[0] \to I_{ker, i}^\bullet \\ \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ K^ i)[0] \to I_{coim, i}^\bullet \end{matrix}

with I_{ker, i}^ n, I_{coim, i}^ n filtered injective and zero for n < 0, see Lemma 13.26.6. By Lemma 13.26.7 we may lift u_ i to a morphism of complexes u_ i^\bullet : I_{coim, i}^\bullet \to I_{ker, i + 1}^\bullet . Finally, for each i \geq 0 we may complete the diagrams

\xymatrix{ 0 \ar[r] & \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(d_ K^ i)[0] \ar[r] \ar[d] & K^ i[0] \ar[r] \ar[d] & \mathop{\mathrm{Coim}}(d_ K^ i)[0] \ar[r] \ar[d] & 0 \\ 0 \ar[r] & I_{ker, i}^\bullet \ar[r]^{\alpha _ i} & I_ i^\bullet \ar[r]^{\beta _ i} & I_{coim, i}^\bullet \ar[r] & 0 }

with the lower sequence a termwise split exact sequence, see Lemma 13.26.8. For i \geq 0 set d_ i : I_ i^\bullet \to I_{i + 1}^\bullet equal to d_ i = \alpha _{i + 1} \circ u_ i^\bullet \circ \beta _ i. Note that d_ i \circ d_{i - 1} = 0 because \beta _ i \circ \alpha _ i = 0. Hence we have constructed a commutative diagram

\xymatrix{ I_0^\bullet \ar[r] & I_1^\bullet \ar[r] & I_2^\bullet \ar[r] & \ldots \\ K^0[0] \ar[r] \ar[u] & K^1[0] \ar[r] \ar[u] & K^2[0] \ar[r] \ar[u] & \ldots }

Here the vertical arrows are filtered quasi-isomorphisms. The upper row is a complex of complexes and each complex consists of filtered injective objects with no nonzero objects in degree < 0. Thus we obtain a double complex by setting I^{a, b} = I_ a^ b and using

d_1^{a, b} : I^{a, b} = I_ a^ b \to I_{a + 1}^ b = I^{a + 1, b}

the map d_ a^ b and using for

d_2^{a, b} : I^{a, b} = I_ a^ b \to I_ a^{b + 1} = I^{a, b + 1}

the map d_{I_ a}^ b. Denote \text{Tot}(I^{\bullet , \bullet }) the total complex associated to this double complex, see Homology, Definition 12.18.3. Observe that the maps K^ n[0] \to I_ n^\bullet come from maps K^ n \to I^{n, 0} which give rise to a map of complexes

K^\bullet \longrightarrow \text{Tot}(I^{\bullet , \bullet })

We claim this is a filtered quasi-isomorphism. As \text{gr}(-) is an additive functor, we see that \text{gr}(\text{Tot}(I^{\bullet , \bullet })) = \text{Tot}(\text{gr}(I^{\bullet , \bullet })). Thus we can use Homology, Lemma 12.25.4 to conclude that \text{gr}(K^\bullet ) \to \text{gr}(\text{Tot}(I^{\bullet , \bullet })) is a quasi-isomorphism as desired. \square

Lemma 13.26.10. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category. Let K^\bullet , I^\bullet \in K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})). Assume K^\bullet is filtered acyclic and I^\bullet bounded below and consisting of filtered injective objects. Any morphism K^\bullet \to I^\bullet is homotopic to zero: \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(K^\bullet , I^\bullet ) = 0.

Proof. Let \alpha : K^\bullet \to I^\bullet be a morphism of complexes. Assume that \alpha ^ j = 0 for j < n. We will show that there exists a morphism h : K^{n + 1} \to I^ n such that \alpha ^ n = h \circ d. Thus \alpha will be homotopic to the morphism of complexes \beta defined by

\beta ^ j = \left\{ \begin{matrix} 0 & \text{if} & j \leq n \\ \alpha ^{n + 1} - d \circ h & \text{if} & j = n + 1 \\ \alpha ^ j & \text{if} & j > n + 1 \end{matrix} \right.

This will clearly prove the lemma (by induction). To prove the existence of h note that \alpha ^ n \circ d_ K^{n - 1} = 0 since \alpha ^{n - 1} = 0. Since K^\bullet is filtered acyclic we see that d_ K^{n - 1} and d_ K^ n are strict and that

0 \to \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ K^{n - 1}) \to K^ n \to \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ K^ n) \to 0

is an exact sequence of the exact category \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}), see Homology, Lemma 12.19.15. Hence we can think of \alpha ^ n as a map into I^ n defined on \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ K^ n). Using that \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}(d_ K^ n) \to K^{n + 1} is a strict monomorphism and that I^ n is filtered injective we may lift this map to a map h : K^{n + 1} \to I^ n as desired, see Lemma 13.26.4. \square

Lemma 13.26.11. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category. Let I^\bullet \in K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) be a bounded below complex consisting of filtered injective objects.

  1. Let \alpha : K^\bullet \to L^\bullet in K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) be a filtered quasi-isomorphism. Then the map

    \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(L^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(K^\bullet , I^\bullet )

    is bijective.

  2. Let L^\bullet \in K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})). Then

    \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(L^\bullet , I^\bullet ) = \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{DF(\mathcal{A})}(L^\bullet , I^\bullet ).

Proof. Proof of (1). Note that

(K^\bullet , L^\bullet , C(\alpha )^\bullet , \alpha , i, -p)

is a distinguished triangle in K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) (Lemma 13.9.14) and C(\alpha )^\bullet is a filtered acyclic complex (Lemma 13.13.4). Then

\xymatrix{ \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(C(\alpha )^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \ar[r] & \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(L^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \ar[r] & \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(K^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \ar[lld] \\ \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}))}(C(\alpha )^\bullet [-1], I^\bullet ) }

is an exact sequence of abelian groups, see Lemma 13.4.2. At this point Lemma 13.26.10 guarantees that the outer two groups are zero and hence \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\mathcal{A})}(L^\bullet , I^\bullet ) = \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\mathcal{A})}(K^\bullet , I^\bullet ).

Proof of (2). Let a be an element of the right hand side. We may represent a = \gamma \alpha ^{-1} where \alpha : K^\bullet \to L^\bullet is a filtered quasi-isomorphism and \gamma : K^\bullet \to I^\bullet is a map of complexes. By part (1) we can find a morphism \beta : L^\bullet \to I^\bullet such that \beta \circ \alpha is homotopic to \gamma . This proves that the map is surjective. Let b be an element of the left hand side which maps to zero in the right hand side. Then b is the homotopy class of a morphism \beta : L^\bullet \to I^\bullet such that there exists a filtered quasi-isomorphism \alpha : K^\bullet \to L^\bullet with \beta \circ \alpha homotopic to zero. Then part (1) shows that \beta is homotopic to zero also, i.e., b = 0. \square

Lemma 13.26.12. Let \mathcal{A} be an abelian category with enough injectives. Let \mathcal{I}^ f \subset \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) denote the strictly full additive subcategory whose objects are the filtered injective objects. The canonical functor

K^{+}(\mathcal{I}^ f) \longrightarrow DF^{+}(\mathcal{A})

is exact, fully faithful and essentially surjective, i.e., an equivalence of triangulated categories. Furthermore the diagrams

\xymatrix{ K^{+}(\mathcal{I}^ f) \ar[d]_{\text{gr}^ p} \ar[r] & DF^{+}(\mathcal{A}) \ar[d]_{\text{gr}^ p} \\ K^{+}(\mathcal{I}) \ar[r] & D^{+}(\mathcal{A}) } \quad \xymatrix{ K^{+}(\mathcal{I}^ f) \ar[d]^{\text{forget }F} \ar[r] & DF^{+}(\mathcal{A}) \ar[d]^{\text{forget }F} \\ K^{+}(\mathcal{I}) \ar[r] & D^{+}(\mathcal{A}) }

are commutative, where \mathcal{I} \subset \mathcal{A} is the strictly full additive subcategory whose objects are the injective objects.

Proof. The functor K^{+}(\mathcal{I}^ f) \to DF^{+}(\mathcal{A}) is essentially surjective by Lemma 13.26.9. It is fully faithful by Lemma 13.26.11. It is an exact functor by our definitions regarding distinguished triangles. The commutativity of the squares is immediate. \square

Remark 13.26.13. We can invert the arrow of the lemma only if \mathcal{A} is a category in our sense, namely if it has a set of objects. However, suppose given a big abelian category \mathcal{A} with enough injectives, such as \textit{Mod}(\mathcal{O}_ X) for example. Then for any given set of objects \{ A_ i\} _{i\in I} there is an abelian subcategory \mathcal{A}' \subset \mathcal{A} containing all of them and having enough injectives, see Sets, Lemma 3.12.1. Thus we may use the lemma above for \mathcal{A}'. This essentially means that if we use a set worth of diagrams, etc then we will never run into trouble using the lemma.

Let \mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B} be abelian categories. Let T : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B} be a left exact functor. (We cannot use the letter F for the functor since this would conflict too much with our use of the letter F to indicate filtrations.) Note that T induces an additive functor

T : \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) \to \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{B})

by the rule T(A, F) = (T(A), F) where F^ pT(A) = T(F^ pA) which makes sense as T is left exact. (Warning: It may not be the case that \text{gr}(T(A)) = T(\text{gr}(A)).) This induces functors of triangulated categories

13.26.13.1
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-induced-T-filtered} T : K^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) \longrightarrow K^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{B})) \end{equation}

The filtered right derived functor of T is the right derived functor of Definition 13.14.2 for this exact functor composed with the exact functor K^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{B})) \to DF^{+}(\mathcal{B}) and the multiplicative set \text{FQis}^{+}(\mathcal{A}). Assume \mathcal{A} has enough injectives. At this point we can redo the discussion of Section 13.20 to define the filtered right derived functors

13.26.13.2
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-filtered-derived-functor} RT : DF^{+}(\mathcal{A}) \longrightarrow DF^{+}(\mathcal{B}) \end{equation}

of our functor T.

However, instead we will proceed as in Section 13.25, and it will turn out that we can define RT even if T is just additive. Namely, we first choose a quasi-inverse j' : DF^{+}(\mathcal{A}) \to K^{+}(\mathcal{I}^ f) of the equivalence of Lemma 13.26.12. By Lemma 13.4.18 we see that j' is an exact functor of triangulated categories. Next, we note that for a filtered injective object I we have a (noncanonical) decomposition

13.26.13.3
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-decompose} I \cong \bigoplus \nolimits _{p \in \mathbf{Z}} I_ p, \quad \text{with}\quad F^ pI = \bigoplus \nolimits _{q \geq p} I_ q \end{equation}

by Lemma 13.26.2. Hence if T is any additive functor T : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B} then we get an additive functor

13.26.13.4
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-extend-T} T_{ext} : \mathcal{I}^ f \to \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{B}) \end{equation}

by setting T_{ext}(I) = \bigoplus T(I_ p) with F^ pT_{ext}(I) = \bigoplus _{q \geq p} T(I_ q). Note that we have the property \text{gr}(T_{ext}(I)) = T(\text{gr}(I)) by construction. Hence we obtain a functor

13.26.13.5
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-extend-T-complexes} T_{ext} : K^{+}(\mathcal{I}^ f) \to K^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{B})) \end{equation}

which commutes with \text{gr}. Then we define (13.26.13.2) by the composition

13.26.13.6
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-definition-filtered-derived-functor} RT = T_{ext} \circ j'. \end{equation}

Since RT : D^{+}(\mathcal{A}) \to D^{+}(\mathcal{B}) is computed by injective resolutions as well, see Lemmas 13.20.1, the commutation of T with \text{gr}, and the commutative diagrams of Lemma 13.26.12 imply that

13.26.13.7
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-commute-gr} \text{gr}^ p \circ RT \cong RT \circ \text{gr}^ p \end{equation}

and

13.26.13.8
\begin{equation} \label{derived-equation-commute-forget} (\text{forget }F) \circ RT \cong RT \circ (\text{forget }F) \end{equation}

as functors DF^{+}(\mathcal{A}) \to D^{+}(\mathcal{B}).

The filtered derived functor RT (13.26.13.2) induces functors

\begin{matrix} RT : \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}) \to DF^{+}(\mathcal{B}), \\ RT : \text{Comp}^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) \to DF^{+}(\mathcal{B}), \\ RT : KF^{+}(\mathcal{A}) \to DF^{+}(\mathcal{B}). \end{matrix}

Note that since \text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A}), and \text{Comp}^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) are no longer abelian it does not make sense to say that RT restricts to a \delta -functor on them. (This can be repaired by thinking of these categories as exact categories and formulating the notion of a \delta -functor from an exact category into a triangulated category.) But it does make sense, and it is true by construction, that RT is an exact functor on the triangulated category KF^{+}(\mathcal{A}).

Lemma 13.26.14. Let \mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B} be abelian categories. Let T : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B} be a left exact functor. Assume \mathcal{A} has enough injectives. Let (K^\bullet , F) be an object of \text{Comp}^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})). There exists a spectral sequence (E_ r, d_ r)_{r\geq 0} consisting of bigraded objects E_ r of \mathcal{B} and d_ r of bidegree (r, - r + 1) and with

E_1^{p, q} = R^{p + q}T(\text{gr}^ p(K^\bullet ))

Moreover, this spectral sequence is bounded, converges to R^*T(K^\bullet ), and induces a finite filtration on each R^ nT(K^\bullet ). The construction of this spectral sequence is functorial in the object K^\bullet of \text{Comp}^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})) and the terms (E_ r, d_ r) for r \geq 1 do not depend on any choices.

Proof. Choose a filtered quasi-isomorphism K^\bullet \to I^\bullet with I^\bullet a bounded below complex of filtered injective objects, see Lemma 13.26.9. Consider the complex RT(K^\bullet ) = T_{ext}(I^\bullet ), see (13.26.13.6). Thus we can consider the spectral sequence (E_ r, d_ r)_{r \geq 0} associated to this as a filtered complex in \mathcal{B}, see Homology, Section 12.24. By Homology, Lemma 12.24.2 we have E_1^{p, q} = H^{p + q}(\text{gr}^ p(T(I^\bullet ))). By Equation (13.26.13.3) we have E_1^{p, q} = H^{p + q}(T(\text{gr}^ p(I^\bullet ))), and by definition of a filtered injective resolution the map \text{gr}^ p(K^\bullet ) \to \text{gr}^ p(I^\bullet ) is an injective resolution. Hence E_1^{p, q} = R^{p + q}T(\text{gr}^ p(K^\bullet )).

On the other hand, each I^ n has a finite filtration and hence each T(I^ n) has a finite filtration. Thus we may apply Homology, Lemma 12.24.11 to conclude that the spectral sequence is bounded, converges to H^ n(T(I^\bullet )) = R^ nT(K^\bullet ) moreover inducing finite filtrations on each of the terms.

Suppose that K^\bullet \to L^\bullet is a morphism of \text{Comp}^{+}(\text{Fil}^ f(\mathcal{A})). Choose a filtered quasi-isomorphism L^\bullet \to J^\bullet with J^\bullet a bounded below complex of filtered injective objects, see Lemma 13.26.9. By our results above, for example Lemma 13.26.11, there exists a diagram

\xymatrix{ K^\bullet \ar[r] \ar[d] & L^\bullet \ar[d] \\ I^\bullet \ar[r] & J^\bullet }

which commutes up to homotopy. Hence we get a morphism of filtered complexes T(I^\bullet ) \to T(J^\bullet ) which gives rise to the morphism of spectral sequences, see Homology, Lemma 12.24.4. The last statement follows from this. \square

Remark 13.26.15. As promised in Remark 13.21.4 we discuss the connection of the lemma above with the constructions using Cartan-Eilenberg resolutions. Namely, let T : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B} be a left exact functor of abelian categories, assume \mathcal{A} has enough injectives, and let K^\bullet be a bounded below complex of \mathcal{A}. We give an alternative construction of the spectral sequences {}'E and {}''E of Lemma 13.21.3.

First spectral sequence. Consider the “stupid” filtration on K^\bullet obtained by setting F^ p(K^\bullet ) = \sigma _{\geq p}(K^\bullet ), see Homology, Section 12.15. Note that this stupid in the sense that d(F^ p(K^\bullet )) \subset F^{p + 1}(K^\bullet ), compare Homology, Lemma 12.24.3. Note that \text{gr}^ p(K^\bullet ) = K^ p[-p] with this filtration. According to Lemma 13.26.14 there is a spectral sequence with E_1 term

E_1^{p, q} = R^{p + q}T(K^ p[-p]) = R^ qT(K^ p)

as in the spectral sequence {}'E_ r. Observe moreover that the differentials E_1^{p, q} \to E_1^{p + 1, q} agree with the differentials in '{}E_1, see Homology, Lemma 12.24.3 part (2) and the description of {}'d_1 in the proof of Lemma 13.21.3.

Second spectral sequence. Consider the filtration on the complex K^\bullet obtained by setting F^ p(K^\bullet ) = \tau _{\leq -p}(K^\bullet ), see Homology, Section 12.15. The minus sign is necessary to get a decreasing filtration. Note that \text{gr}^ p(K^\bullet ) is quasi-isomorphic to H^{-p}(K^\bullet )[p] with this filtration. According to Lemma 13.26.14 there is a spectral sequence with E_1 term

E_1^{p, q} = R^{p + q}T(H^{-p}(K^\bullet )[p]) = R^{2p + q}T(H^{-p}(K^\bullet )) = {}''E_2^{i, j}

with i = 2p + q and j = -p. (This looks unnatural, but note that we could just have well developed the whole theory of filtered complexes using increasing filtrations, with the end result that this then looks natural, but the other one doesn't.) We leave it to the reader to see that the differentials match up.

Actually, given a Cartan-Eilenberg resolution K^\bullet \to I^{\bullet , \bullet } the induced morphism K^\bullet \to \text{Tot}(I^{\bullet , \bullet }) into the associated total complex will be a filtered injective resolution for either filtration using suitable filtrations on \text{Tot}(I^{\bullet , \bullet }). This can be used to match up the spectral sequences exactly.
