Zero (0) is a number that precedes the positive one, and all positive numbers, and follows negative one, and all negative numbers.
Zero may or may not be counted as a natural number, depending on the definition of natural numbers.
Zero is the identity element in an additive group or the additive identity of a ring.

 Zero morphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In category theory, a zero morphism is a special kind of "trivial" morphism.
In the category of groups or modules a zero morphism is a homomorphism f : G → H that maps all of G to the identity element of H.

Zero or Nought (0) is a number that precedes the positive one, and all positive numbers, and follows negative one, and all negative numbers.
In general, zero did not have its own Roman numeral, but the concept of zero as a number was well known by all Christian medieval computists, who used it for calculating the date of Easter.
Zero was also used as a numeral in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, from as early as the 4th century BC.

Zero means nothing, null, void or an absence of value.
The use of zero as a number unto itself was a relatively late addition to mathematics, first introduced by Indian mathematicians.

 Preadditive category - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the zero morphism from A to B.
The biproduct condition in the case n = 0 simplifies drastically; B is a nullary biproduct iff the identity morphism of B is the zero morphism from B to itself, or equivalently if the hom-set Hom(B,B) is the trivial ring.
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.

The slashed zero, looking identical to the letter O other than the slash, is used in old-style ASCII graphic sets descended from the default typewheel on the venerable ASR-33 Teletype.
The convention which has the letter O with a slash and the zero without was used at IBM and a few other early mainframe makers; this is even more problematic for Scandinavians because it means two of their letters collide.

It is important to distinguish the ''number'' zero (as in the "zero brothers" example above) from the ''numeral'' or ''digit'' zero, used in numeral_systems where the position of a digit signifies its value.
As the decimal zero and its new mathematics spread through a Europe that was still in the Middle_Ages, words derived from ''sifr'' and ''zephyrus'' came to refer to calculation, as well as to privileged knowledge and secret codes.
Another true zero was used in tables alongside Roman numerals by 525 (first known use by Dionysius_Exiguus), but as a word, ''nulla'' meaning ''nothing'', not as a symbol.

Zero is a number which means nothing, null, void or an absence of value.
For example, on the kelvin temperature scale, zero is the coldest possible temperature (so that negative temperatures are non-existent), where as on the celsius scale, zero is arbitrarily defined to be at the freezing point of water.
The zero with a dot in the centre seems to have originated as an option on IBM 3270 controllers (this has the problem that it looks like the Greek letter Theta).

 Morphism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The abstract study of morphisms and the spaces (or objects) on which they are defined forms a branch of mathematics called category theory.
Despite the abstract nature of morphisms, most people's intution about them (and indeed much of the terminology) comes from the case of the so-called concrete categories where the objects are simply sets with some additional structure and morphisms are functions preserving this structure.
Any morphism that is both an epimorphism and a split monomorphism, or both a monomorphism and a split epimorphism, must be an isomorphism.

A morphism must be such that each axiom of the source spec maps to a theorem in the target spec: in other words, the translation of the axiom (according to the mapping expressed by the morphism) must be provable from the axioms in the target spec.
The morphism labeling an edge must be such that its source is the spec labeling the source node of the edge, and its target is the spec labeling the target node of the edge.
A morphism can be viewed as a particular case of an interpretation, where the mediator is the same spec as the target, and the inclusion morphism from the target to the mediator is the identity morphism.

Then the category of diagrams indexed by E consists of sequences of spaces {Xn} such that Xn is a pointed n-space and morphisms are sequences of maps that are n-equivariant at the nth entry.
Since morphisms are actually natural transformations, the image of a natural transformation may be defined entrywise and will remain a presheaf.

1) The analog of the zero vector is a `zero object'.
A zero object in a category is an object that is both initial and terminal.
An important difference between zero, addition and subtraction and their categorical analogs is that these operations represent extra structure on a set, while having a zero object, coproducts of two objects, or cokernels of morphisms is merely a property of a category.

An object q is universal, or initial, if for every object r in the category, there is one and only one morphism from q to r.
