Acyclic object

From HandWiki

In mathematics, in the field of homological algebra, given an abelian category [math]\displaystyle{ \mathcal{C} }[/math] having enough injectives and an additive (covariant) functor

[math]\displaystyle{ F :\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D} }[/math],

an acyclic object with respect to [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math], or simply an [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math]-acyclic object, is an object [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] in [math]\displaystyle{ \mathcal{C} }[/math] such that

[math]\displaystyle{ {\rm R}^i F (A) = 0 \,\! }[/math] for all [math]\displaystyle{ i\gt 0 \,\! }[/math],

where [math]\displaystyle{ {\rm R}^i F }[/math] are the right derived functors of [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math].
