Zero objects #

A category "has a zero object" if it has an object which is both initial and terminal. Having a zero object provides zero morphisms, as the unique morphisms factoring through the zero object; see CategoryTheory.Limits.Shapes.ZeroMorphisms.

References #

An object X in a category is a zero object if for every object Y there is a unique morphism to : X → Y and a unique morphism from : Y → X.

This is a characteristic predicate for has_zero_object.

  • unique_to (Y : C) : Nonempty (Unique (X Y))

    there are unique morphisms to the object

  • unique_from (Y : C) : Nonempty (Unique (Y X))

    there are unique morphisms from the object

Instances For

    If h : IsZero X, then h.to_ Y is a choice of unique morphism X → Y.
