Lemma 13.31.2. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category. Let $I^\bullet $ be a complex. The following are equivalent

  1. $I^\bullet $ is K-injective,

  2. for every quasi-isomorphism $M^\bullet \to N^\bullet $ the map

    \[ \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\mathcal{A})}(N^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\mathcal{A})}(M^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \]

    is bijective, and

  3. for every complex $N^\bullet $ the map

    \[ \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\mathcal{A})}(N^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{D(\mathcal{A})}(N^\bullet , I^\bullet ) \]

    is an isomorphism.

Proof. Assume (1). Then (2) holds because the functor $\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\mathcal{A})}( - , I^\bullet )$ is cohomological and the cone on a quasi-isomorphism is acyclic.

Assume (2). A morphism $N^\bullet \to I^\bullet $ in $D(\mathcal{A})$ is of the form $fs^{-1} : N^\bullet \to I^\bullet $ where $s : M^\bullet \to N^\bullet $ is a quasi-isomorphism and $f : M^\bullet \to I^\bullet $ is a map. By (2) this corresponds to a unique morphism $N^\bullet \to I^\bullet $ in $K(\mathcal{A})$, i.e., (3) holds.

Assume (3). If $M^\bullet $ is acyclic then $M^\bullet $ is isomorphic to the zero complex in $D(\mathcal{A})$ hence $\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{D(\mathcal{A})}(M^\bullet , I^\bullet ) = 0$, whence $\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{K(\mathcal{A})}(M^\bullet , I^\bullet ) = 0$ by (3), i.e., (1) holds. $\square$
