Abstract:
The famous “algebraic Mayer–Vietoris theorem” is usually stated for complexes over an abelian category. In the present paper this theorem is generalized for complexes over a preabelian category. We use the technique and results from the relative homological algebra that is developed in the paper (A. I. Generalov, Algebra i analyz 4, No. 3 (1992)).
Key words and phrases:preabelian category, proper class of cokernel, Mayer–Vietoris sequence.
