A right pretriangulated category which is not right triangulated
Abstract
Chen, Liu, Lu, and Zhang recently constructed a pretriangulated category with invertible suspension in which Verdier's octahedral axiom fails. We introduce a general enlargement construction for right pretriangulated categories and show that it preserves axioms (RTR1)-(RTR3), while failure of (RTR4) is detected by the forgetful functor. Applied to their type A5 example, the construction yields a right pretriangulated category that is not right triangulated. In this example, the suspension is faithful but not essentially surjective.
