Extract

1. Let ℳ be an additive category. (We refer to ((1), Ch. IX) for the definition of an additive category and associated terms. In particular a sequence

is exact if i = kerp and p = coker i.) We write End M for Hom(M, M). A trace on ℳ with values in an abelian group G is a collection of (abelian group) homomorphisms

one for each M ∈ ℳ, satisfying the following two conditions:

(i) Exactness. Given a commutative diagram with exact rows,

then tA(f) + tC(h) = tB(g).
