Aspect Name Definition/description
objects short exact sequences of groups A short exact sequence of groups is a five-term exact sequence of groups that starts and ends with the trivial group.
morphisms homomorphism of short exact sequences homomorphism for each position in the sequence such that the diagram commutes.
composition law for morphisms composition of homomorphisms Compose the homomorphism for each group separately.
