Let R be a ring with identity, and let C be a small, nonempty category. We denote the category of right R-modules by AbR and the category of contravariant functors C → AbR by AbRC*. The limit functor

is left exact, and its kth right derived functor is denoted by colimk. The R-cohomological dimension of C is defined by

If there is a unitary ring homomorphism R→S, then it is not difficult to show that cdsC ≦ cdRC.
