Let u:C→C′ be a morphism of A-complexes, P a projective A-module, n an integer ⩾0,
h:P→Hn(Con(u))
an A-homomorphism. Now prove that there exists a complex C~, an exact sequence of complexes
0→CiC~→P(−n)→0
and a morphism u~:C~→C′ such that u~∘i=u and such that the morphism C(i):Con(u)→Con(u~) induced by i satisfies the following properties:
α) The mapping Hp(C(i)):Hp(Con(u))→Hp(Con(u~)) is bijective for p=n,n+1; β) There exists an exact sequence
0→Hn+1(Con(u))Hn+1(C(i))Hn+1(Con(u~))→PhHn(Con(u))Hn(C(i))Hn(Con(u~))→0.
