The derived category of an exact category. (English) Zbl 0753.18004

For a saturated (i.e. every idempotent splits) exact category \(\mathcal E\) the derived category \(D({\mathcal E})\) is constructed as the quotient of the homotopy category of chain complexes of objects of \(\mathcal E\), by the full subcategory of acyclic complexes. The paper contains also some useful remarks on different earlier similar constructions.
