Additive Category - Special Cases

Special Cases

  • A pre-abelian category is an additive category in which every morphism has a kernel and a cokernel.
  • An abelian category is a pre-abelian category such that every monomorphism and epimorphism is normal.

The additive categories most commonly studied are in fact abelian categories; for example, Ab is an abelian category.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or cases:

    “And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
    That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:
    The flowers will go on with grief awhile,
    And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
    A prudent grief will not despise such aids.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I want in all cases to do right.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
