“…Similar to the classical case explained above, the motivation of this work is that it could lead ultimately to a better understanding of the exactness properties of the category of (abelian) affine -groupoids. Furthermore, our results have applications on a wide variety of topics, since the interest in Hopf algebroids is widespread in different branches of mathematics: from algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and differential geometry (see [9, 16, 31]), to the study of linear differential equations (see [14, 17]), noncommutative differential calculus [18], and in the study of the fundamental groupoid of quivers [19], to mention only a few.…”
