Acyclic object

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

F:{\mathcal {C}}\to {\mathcal {D}}

,

an acyclic object with respect to $F$ , or simply an $F$ -acyclic object, is an object $A$ in ${\mathcal {C}}$ such that

{\rm {R}}^{i}F(A)=0\,\!

for all

i>0\,\!

,

where ${\rm {R}}^{i}F$ are the right derived functors of $F$ .
