| | Atlas: Fully embedding (sober) topological spaces in a category of coalgebras with a sequence of three universal constructions by Aurelio Carboni |
 | | We show that freely adding the last property to the result of the first ``free'' construction, and cofreely adding the first property to the result, we get a category of coalgebras and the claimed full embedding, which is in fact a coreflection. |
 | | Eventhough the category of coalgebras so constructed has a plain direct description, the description by universal properties, and in particular by the second one, is quite useful to investigate the full embedding and his properties. |
 | | Clearly, in such a construction some properties of Sets are lost, notably the cartesian product looses his cartesianess, and the (regular epi)-(mono) factorization of a map is not available anymore as a stable, proper factorization system. |
