Definitions and basic properties of regular monomorphisms and epimorphisms. #

A regular monomorphism is a morphism that is the equalizer of some parallel pair.

We give the constructions

as well as the dual constructions for regular epimorphisms. Additionally, we give the construction

We also define classes IsRegularMonoCategory and IsRegularEpiCategory for categories in which every monomorphism or epimorphism is regular, and deduce that these categories are StrongMonoCategorys resp. StrongEpiCategorys.

Type (max u₁ v₁)

A regular monomorphism is a morphism which is the equalizer of some parallel pair.

Instances
    @[instance 100]
    instance CategoryTheory.RegularMono.mono {C : Type u₁} [Category.{v₁, u₁} C] {X Y : C} (f : X Y) [RegularMono f] :

    Every regular monomorphism is a monomorphism.

    @[instance 100]

    Every split monomorphism is a regular monomorphism.

    Equations

      If f is a regular mono, then any map k : W ⟶ Y equalizing RegularMono.left and RegularMono.right induces a morphism l : W ⟶ X such that l ≫ f = k.

                  A regular monomorphism is an isomorphism if it is an epimorphism.

                  Instances

                    In a category in which every monomorphism is regular, we can express every monomorphism as an equalizer. This is not an instance because it would create an instance loop.
