Functor preserving long exact sequences

623 Views Asked by At

Let $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ be abelian categories.

An exact functor $F:\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D}$ preserves exactness of short exact sequences:

$$0\to A\to B\to C\to 0$$ goes to $$0\to F(A)\to F(B)\to F(C)\to 0$$

I don't believe that this implies long exact sequences are sent to long exact sequences.

0) Am I wrong? If not:

1) What tools do we have to measure the failure of $F$ in taking a long exact to a long exact?

2) Is there a name for a functor that takes long exact sequences to long exact sequences?
