Group structures on subobjects #

A subobject of a group object inherits a unique group structure if the identity, multiplication, and inversion factor through it. The group axioms follow by cancellation of the monomorphism; no axioms need to be assumed for the lifted operations.

This is the categorical form of the closed-subgroup criterion for group schemes.

A monomorphism into a monoid object admits at most one compatible group structure.
