Over a field kk, let f:k3→k5f : k^3 \to k^5 be a linear map of rank 22, viewed as a morphism in D(k)D(k) between complexes concentrated in degree 00. What is dim⁡H−1(C(f))+dim⁡H0(C(f))\dim H^{-1}(C(f)) + \dim H^0(C(f)) for its cone?

In the proof that every monomorphism u:X→Yu : X \to Y in a triangulated category splits, we deduce w=0w = 0 from u[1] w=0u[1]\, w = 0. Which fact justifies cancelling u[1]u[1]?

In D(F5)D(\mathbb{F}_5) take X=F5X = \mathbb{F}_5, Y=F5[1]Y = \mathbb{F}_5[1] and the zero map X→YX \to Y, with cone Z=Y⊕X[1]Z = Y \oplus X[1] as in the lesson. How many morphisms c:Z→Zc : Z \to Z make (idX,idY,c)(\mathrm{id}_X, \mathrm{id}_Y, c) a morphism of triangles?

A linear map f:Qn→Qmf : \mathbb{Q}^n \to \mathbb{Q}^m, viewed in D(Q)D(\mathbb{Q}) in degree 00, has cone C(f)=(Qn→fQm)C(f) = (\mathbb{Q}^n \xrightarrow{f} \mathbb{Q}^m) in degrees −1,0-1, 0. Write cone_cohomology(matrix, n) that returns [dim H^-1, dim H^0], where matrix is the list of the mm rows of ff (each of length n; it may be empty if m=0m = 0). Use exact rational arithmetic (fractions.Fraction) to compute the rank.
