| | Injective Hulls are not Natural - Ad'amek, Herrlich, Rosick'y, Tholen (ResearchIndex) |
 | | Abstract: In a category with injective hulls and a cogenerator, the embeddings into injective hulls can never form a natural transformation, unless all objects are injective. |
 | | In particular, assigning to a eld its algebraic closure, to a poset or Boolean algebra its MacNeille completion, and to an R- module its injective envelope is not functorial, if one wants the respective embeddings to form a natural transformation. |
