Abstract

We prove that some of the main results of linkage theory can be extended to a more general context in homological algebra. Our main result states that, under suitable circumstances, if one has a morphism among two objects in an abelian category, both equipped with a good resolution, then there is a canonical procedure to build up a good resolution for the cokernel of the dual morphism.
