Abstract. The theorem, stated in the title of this article, is proved.Several people have asked about the relationship between the relative cohomology groups defined by Barr and Rinehart [3], and those of [6]. The point of this note is to show that these groups (in the cases considered by Barr and Rinehart) coincide.In a sense, this result adds perspective on the creative tension which exists between derived functors and Ext groups. Barr has examples (see, e.g. [1]) which show that, in the theory of commutative rings, the functor which classifies extensions is definitely not a derived functor. By the results of Beck [4] and Duskin [5] (see also [6]) any algebraic theory defines a cohomology theory, the "cotriple-derived functors", which classifies extensions. The paper of Barr and Rinehart can thus be viewed as a statement that for certain theories these intrinsically defined groups can equally well be computed by the more classical approach of "ordinary" derived functors on a module category. This note shows that the Barr-Rinehart relative groups Exl"R(S/S2, M) also appear naturally in the cotriple theory. This raises the following unanswered question: what conditions on an algebraic theory make it possible to compute the intrinsic long exact cohomology sequences via ordinary derived functors? Here we shall give conditions, but they are not really conditions on the theory.
