In this paper we characterize weak monomorphisms and weak epimorphisms in the category of pro-groups. Also we define the notion of weakly exact sequence and we study this notion in the category of pro-groups.
We call metamorphosis of a given category an autoequivalence functor up to within natural equivalence. We show that, given a group G, the group of metamorphoses of the category of G-sets (as well as the corresponding group for ?sufficiently big? subcategories) may be naturally identified to the group of outer automorphism of G. We get by this way a natural description of a group of known operations on tessellations of a surface: the identity operation, the Poincaré duality, and four others which...
Order-enriched solid functors, as presented in this paper in two versions, enjoy many of the strong properties of their ordinary counterparts, including the transfer of the existence of weighted (co)limits from their codomains to their domains. The ordinary version of the notion first appeared in Trnková's work on automata theory of the 1970s and was subsequently studied by others under various names, before being put into a general enriched context by C. Anghel. Our focus in this paper is on differentiating...
The class of pure submodules () and torsion-free images () of finite direct sums of submodules of the quotient field of an integral domain were first investigated by M. C. R. Butler for the ring of integers (1965). In this case and short exact sequences of such modules are both prebalanced and precobalanced. This does not hold for integral domains in general. In this paper the notion of precobalanced sequences of modules is further investigated. It is shown that as in the case for abelian groups...
