ExactCouples :: covariantExtLES

covariantExtLES -- the long exact sequence in Ext induced by an inclusion in the last coordinate of Hom

Synopsis

Description

The long exact sequence is returned as a Net with the following general format:

|   .- ->        ...    (k-3) more rows appearing
|  (
|   \
|
|                                                                   \
|   .- ->  Ext^1(W,X)  - - ->  Ext^1(W,X/A)  - - ->  Ext^2(W,A)  - -'
|  (
|   \
|
|                                                                   \
|   .- ->   Hom(W,X)   - - ->   Hom(W,X/A)   - - ->  Ext^1(W,A)  - -'

Caveat

For computational access to the maps in the sequence, use covariantExtCouple instead.
