short exact sequence


Let A,B,C be objects in an abelian categoryMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath. A is an exact sequenceMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of the form

0ABC0.

Note that in this case, the homomorphismMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath AB must be a monomorphismMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath, and the homomorphism BC must be an epimorphismMathworldPlanetmath.
