Topic: Pre Abelian categories


  
  Preadditive category - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Category theorists will often think of the ring R and the category R as two different representations of the same thing, so that a particularly perverse category theorist might define a ring as a preadditive category with exactly one object.
An additive category is a preadditive category with all finite biproducts.
A pre-Abelian category is an additive category with all kernels and cokernels.

 Pre-Abelian category - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, specifically in category theory, a pre-Abelian category is an additive category that has all kernels and cokernels.
Ab is preadditive because it is a closed monoidal category, the biproduct in Ab is the finite direct sum, the kernel is inclusion of the ordinary kernel from group theory and the cokernel is the quotient map onto the ordinary cokernel from group theory.
For example, in the category of topological Abelian groups, the image of a morphism actually corresponds to the inclusion of the closure of the range of the function.

In the category of groups, the cokernel of a group homomorphism f : G → H is the quotient of H by the normal closure of the image of f.
In such a category, the coequalizer of two morphisms f and g (if it exists) is just the cokernel of their difference:\n:coeq(f, g) = coker(g - f) In a pre-abelian category (a special kind of preadditive category) the existence of kernels and cokernels is guaranteed.
In such categories the image and coimage of a morphism f are given by\n:im(f) = ker(coker f)\n:coim(f) = coker(ker f) Abelian categories are even better behaved with respect to cokernels.

Then it becomes possible to relate different categories by functors, generalizations of functions which associate to every object of one category an object of another category and to every morphism in the first category a morphism in the second.
Categories, functors and natural transformations were introduced by Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders MacLane in 1945.
Algebra of continuous functions: a contravariant functor from the category of topological spaces (with continuous maps as morphisms) to the category of real associative algebras is given by assigning to every topological space X the algebra C(X) of all real-valued continuous functions on that space.

Ab is preadditive because it is a closed monoidal category, and the biproduct in Ab is the finite direct sum.
Every additive category is of course a preadditive category, and many basic properties of these categories are described under that subject.
In fact, it is a theorem that all adjoint functors between additive categories must be additive functors, and most interesting functors studied in all of category theory are adjoints.

Toposes and abelian categories are striking for the number of elementary properties they have in common (monic+epi = iso, mono/epi is a unique factorization system, etc. etc.) and the paucity of their common models, namely just the final category.
To the extent that both toposes and abelian categories share much pleasant structure, the models of the intersection of their theories, for a suitable choice of language, would seem to be a nice class in its own right.
For abelian cats the lemma remains true when one relaxes the hypothesis from "a pair of maps one of which is monic" to "a pair of maps that are jointly monic." Such a lemma is very wrong for topoi.

If C and D are preadditive categories, then a functor F: C → D is additive if it too is enriched over the category Ab.
That is, if f: A → B is a morphism in a preadditive category, then the kernel of f is the equaliser of f and the zero morphism from A to B, while the cokernel of f is the coequaliser of f and this zero morphism.
When specializing to the preadditive categories of abelian groups or modules over a ring, this notion of kernel coincides with the ordinary notion of kernel of a homomorphism, if one identifies the ordinary kernel K of f: A → B with its embedding K → A.

Generalizations of purity in the category of abelian groups and in module categories have many applications and are really tools of homological algebra.
This construction was made in [] to give a unified approach to homological algebra in pre-abelian categories which allows to include the approaches in [] in the framework of a single theory.
Section is devoted to relative homological algebra in module categories and we discuss recent results on the classification of inductively closed proper classes which are closely related with algebraically compact modules.

He says an "Abelian category" is a category with a generator and a cogenerator and with zero object and biproducts (which he calls "free-and-direct products).
He proves that in such a category, the arrows from any object A to another B form an additive commutative monoid (he actually says "semigroup", p.511); and that any such category is isomorphic to a category of commutative monoids (p.512).
A category with submaps is a category with a distinguished class of monics satisfying certain axioms (which imply that every split monic is in the class, p.499).

In abelian categories the ideals corresponding to the usual universal objects are principal, and the construction reduces, in a choice dependent way, to homology groups.
In derived categories the cone of a map is a canonical generator for the corresponding cokernel ideal.
The ``space-time'' should be reconstructed as a prime spectrum of a category, as part of a ``correspondence principle'', and should not be considered a primary concept.

Note that the zero morphism in item 3 can be identified as the identity element of the hom-set Hom(A,B), which is an Abelian group by item 1; or as the unique morphism A → O → B, where O is a zero object, guaranteed to exist by item 2.
We simply construct the equaliser of two morphisms f and g as the kernel of their difference g − f; similarly, their coequaliser is the cokernel of their difference.
First, recall that an additive functor is a functor F: C → D between preadditive categories that acts as a group homomorphism on each hom-set.

We also show that the homotopy categories associated to the two categories are equivalent to the homotopy categories of simplicial presheaves and homotopy 2-types, respectively.
The idea behind this thesis is to stabilize the category of crossed complexes, as it is an interesting approximation to the category of simplicial sets, reflecting certain, though not all, nonabelian homotopical information concerning simplicial sets.
The precise meaning of `small generator' depends on the context, be it an abelian category, a derived category or a stable model category.

This implies that their catego* *ries of representa- tions over C are equivalent as abelian categories.

A large number of examples of kinds of structured category is presented showing that the structured categories are selected from among the corresponding generalized sketches as the models of a set of sketch-entailments.
Along the same lines, the categories of processes modulo the observational and the branching congruences, with the suitable simulations as morphisms again, are shown to be isomorphic with certain subcategories of the category of irredundant trees.
In particular, we present a category where the path order is not omega-complete, but in which the constructions of domain theory (as, for example, the existence of uniform fixed-point operators and the solution of domain equations) are possible.

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.

Just a thought about Vaughan's original question: the class of toposes (and that of pretoposes) is stable under slicing, as are all the `exactness properties' that they share with abelian categories.
Slices of abelian categories aren't abelian; but, thanks to Aurelio Carboni, we know how to characterize them.
So we ought surely to be looking for a common generalization, not of toposes and abelian categories, but of (pre)toposes and affine categories in Aurelio's sense.

When the model category has a compatible monoidal structure we also define, following Simpson, a notion of geometric or algebraic stack on it.
This could also be seen as a first step in a more general theory of algebraic geometry over monoidal infinity categories; as an instance of this we compare and unify the previously described approaches using Simpson's Segal categories.
