The effacement theorem is a fundamental result in homological algebra that describes how certain derived functors can be represented in terms of projective resolutions. This theorem connects derived functors with the structure of exact sequences, highlighting that under certain conditions, the derived functors can vanish when taking higher derived functors from a projective resolution. It emphasizes the significance of universal properties in understanding how these functors behave.
