Mutation pairs and triangulated quotients

Zengqiang Lin and Minxiong Wang

We introduce the notion of mutation pairs in pseudo-triangulated categories. Given such a mutation pair, we prove that the corresponding quotient category carries a natural triangulated structure under certain conditions. This result unifies many previous constructions of quotient triangulated categories.
