Abstract

We introduce the fundamental group of a morphism in a triangulated category and show that the groupoid of distinguished triangles containing a given extension of objects from an abelian category is equivalent to the Quillen groupoid of the corresponding extension category as studied by Retakh (Uspekhi Mat. Nauk 41:179–180, 1986), Neeman–Retakh (Compositio Math. 102:203–242, 1996), and Schwede (J. Reine Angew. Math. 498:153–172, 1998).

We will throughout assume that all categories are (essentially) small, thus, ignoring any potential set-theoretic issues.

J.P. May shows in [8, 9] that TR3 can be deduced from the remaining axioms. See also Balmer’s discussion [1] of this point in his review of [8].
