An enhanced extriangulated subquotient

Abstract: Bondal-Kapranov's enhanced triangulated categories perform nicely in the context of the localization theory, that is, the Verdier quotient is lifted to the Drinfeld dg quotient of pretriangulated dg categories. In this article, we provide a development of such an enhancement for Nakaoka-Palu's notion of extriangulated categories which contains exact and triangulated categories. The enhancement of them was recently initiated by Xiaofa Chen under the name of exact dg categories. In addition, it is known that a certain ideal quotient of an extriangulated category is still extriangulated, and such an extriangulated ideal quotient was enhanced by the dg quotient of the associated connective exact dg category there. Motivated by Chen's enhanced extriangulated theory, we introduce the notion of cohomological envelope of an exact dg category and generalize his enhanced ideal quotient. We indeed show that the dg quotient of exact dg categories passing to the cohomological envelope and substructures, where we call it the exact dg subquotient, enjoys compatibility with a wide class of extriangulated quotients in the sense of Nakaoka-Ogawa-Sakai. To utilize and clarify the range of our approach, we formulate the extriangulated subquotient which permits us to localize any extriangulated category by extension-closed subcategories. It includes not only both the ideal quotient and the Verdier quotient, but the quotient of an exact category by biresolving subcategories. Notably the extriangulated subquotient is lifted to the exact dg subquotient.
