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

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

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

Instances

    Every regular monomorphism is a monomorphism.

    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.

      The second leg of a pullback cone is a regular monomorphism if the right component is too.

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

          A regular mono category is a category in which every monomorphism is regular.

          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.
