 | | Abstract: We introduce a relativized notion of (semi)normalcy for categories that come equipped with a proper stable factorization system, and we use radicals and normal closure operators in order to study torsion theories in such categories. |
 | | We pay particular attention to the homological and, for our purposes more importantly, normal categories of topological algebra, such as the category of topological groups. |
 | | But our applications go far beyond the realm of these types of categories, as they include, for example, the normal, but non-homological category of pointed topological spaces, which is in fact a rich supplier for radicals of topological groups. |
