Lemma 13.5.8. Let \mathcal{D} be a pre-triangulated category and let \mathcal{D}' \subset \mathcal{D} be a full, pre-triangulated subcategory. Let S be a saturated multiplicative system of \mathcal{D} compatible with the triangulated structure. Assume that for each X in \mathcal{D} there exists an s : X' \to X in S such that X' is an object of \mathcal{D}'. Then S' = S \cap \text{Arrows}(\mathcal{D}') is a saturated multiplicative system compatible with the triangulated structure and the functor
(S')^{-1}\mathcal{D}' \longrightarrow S^{-1}\mathcal{D}
is an equivalence of pre-triangulated categories.
Proof.
Consider the quotient functor Q : \mathcal{D} \to S^{-1}\mathcal{D} of Proposition 13.5.6. Since S is saturated we have that a morphism f : X \to Y is in S if and only if Q(f) is invertible, see Categories, Lemma 4.27.21. Thus S' is the collection of arrows which are turned into isomorphisms by the composition \mathcal{D}' \to \mathcal{D} \to S^{-1}\mathcal{D}. Hence S' is is a saturated multiplicative system compatible with the triangulated structure by Lemma 13.5.4. By Lemma 13.5.7 we obtain the exact functor (S')^{-1}\mathcal{D}' \to S^{-1}\mathcal{D} of pre-triangulated categories. By assumption this functor is essentially surjective. Let X', Y' be objects of \mathcal{D}'. By Categories, Remark 4.27.15 we have
\mathop{\mathrm{Mor}}\nolimits _{S^{-1}\mathcal{D}}(X', Y') = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{s : X \to X'\text{ in }S} \mathop{\mathrm{Mor}}\nolimits _\mathcal {D}(X, Y')
Our assumption implies that for any s : X \to X' in S we can find a morphism s' : X'' \to X in S with X'' in \mathcal{D}'. Then s \circ s' : X'' \to X' is in S'. Hence the colimit above is equal to
\mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{s'' : X'' \to X'\text{ in }S'} \mathop{\mathrm{Mor}}\nolimits _{\mathcal{D}'}(X'', Y') = \mathop{\mathrm{Mor}}\nolimits _{(S')^{-1}\mathcal{D}'}(X', Y')
This proves our functor is also fully faithful and the proof is complete.
