   Format: MarkdownItexThere is an influential axiomatics of such homomorphisms in [[Tohoku]], where Grothendieck talks about $\delta$-functors, and dually, $\delta^*$-functors, regardless their origin or construction. The connecting homomorphism is just part of the data for such a functor (which deserves a $n$lab entry, but I am in troubles not allowing me to contribute much to $n$lab at the moment). [[Alexander Rosenberg]] generalized this axiomatics for nonabelian complexes with objects in what he calls right exact categories, i.e. categories with choice of subcanonical singleton pretopology by strict epimorphisms.
