TauCeti.CategoryTheory.ObjectProperty.KilledBy

Objects killed by a natural number #

In a preadditive category, a natural number e kills an object Z when e • 𝟙 Z = 0. The objects killed by e form an object property, CategoryTheory.ObjectProperty.isKilledBy C e, closed under subobjects and quotients: if e kills W, it kills every subobject and every quotient of W. In a category of modules this is the condition that e annihilates every element.

The objects Z killed by a natural number e, in the sense that e • 𝟙 Z = 0.

Instances For
    @[simp]

    An object Z is killed by e exactly when e • 𝟙 Z = 0.

    A subobject of an object killed by e is killed by e.

    A quotient of an object killed by e is killed by e.
