Similarity:

We study morphisms that are initial w.r.t. all functors in a given conglomerate. Several results and counterexamples are obtained concerning the relation of such properties to different notions of subobject. E.g., strong monomorphisms are initial w.r.t. all faithful adjoint functors, but not necessarily w.r.t. all faithful monomorphism-preserving functors; morphisms that are initial w.r.t. all faithful monomorphism-preserving functors are monomorphisms, but need not be extremal; and...

Totality of product completions

Similarity:

Categories whose Yoneda embedding has a left adjoint are known as total categories and are characterized by a strong cocompleteness property. We introduce the notion of multitotal category 𝒜 by asking the Yoneda embedding 𝒜 → [ 𝒜 o p , 𝒮 e t ] to be right multiadjoint and prove that this property is equivalent to totality of the formal product completion Π 𝒜 of 𝒜 . We also characterize multitotal categories with various types of generators; in particular, the existence of dense generators is inherited by the...
