Connecting Homomorphism

The homomorphism
which, according to the snake lemma, permits construction of an exact sequence
 |
(1)
|
from the above commutative diagram with exact rows. The homomorphism
is defined by
 |
(2)
|
for all
,
denotes the image, and
is obtained through the following construction, based on diagram chasing.
1. Exploit the surjectivity of
to find
such that
.
2. Since
because of the commutativity of the right square,
belongs to
, which is equal to
due to the exactness of the lower row at
. This allows us to find
such that
.
While the elements
and
are not uniquely determined, the coset
is, as can be proven by using more diagram chasing. In particular, if
and
are other elements fulfilling the requirements of steps (1) and (2), then
and
, and
 |
(3)
|
hence
because of the exactness of the upper row at
. Let
be such that
 |
(4)
|
Then
 |
(5)
|
because the left square is commutative. Since
is injective, it follows that

and so
