Short five lemma
In
mathematics
, especially
homological algebra
and other applications of
Abelian category
theory, the
short five lemma
is a special case of the
five lemma
. It states that for the following
commutative diagram
(in any Abelian category), if the rows are
exact
, and if
g
and
h
are
isomorphisms
, then
f
is an isomorphism as well.
It follows immediately from the five lemma.
