Abstract

A notion of mutation of subcategories in a right triangulated category is defined in this article. When (, ) is a -mutation pair in a right triangulated category , the quotient category / carries naturally a right triangulated structure. Moreover, if the right triangulated category satisfies some reasonable conditions, then the right triangulated quotient category / becomes a triangulated category. When is triangulated, our result unifies the constructions of the quotient triangulated categories by Iyama-Yoshino and by Jørgensen, respectively.
