Approximate injectivity and smallness in metric-enriched categories

Kan injectivity in order-enriched categories

Continuous lattices were characterised by Mart́ın Escardó as precisely the objects that are Kan-injective w.r.t. a certain class of morphisms. We study Kan-injectivity in general categories enriched in posets. An example: ω-CPO’s are precisely the posets that are Kan-injective w.r.t. the embeddings ω →֒ ω + 1 and 0 →֒ 1. For every class H of morphisms we study the subcategory of all objects Kan-in...

Convergence and quantale-enriched categories

Generalising Nachbin's theory of ``topology and order'', in this paper we   continue the study of quantale-enriched categories equipped with a compact   Hausdorff topology. We compare these $V$-categorical compact Hausdorff spaces   with ultrafilter-quantale-enriched categories, and show that the presence of a   compact Hausdorff topology guarantees Cauchy completeness and (suitably   defined) ...

Probabilistic metric spaces as enriched categories

Injectivity in a category: an overview on smallness conditions

Some of the so called smallness conditions in algebra as well as in category theory, are important and interesting for their own and also tightly related to injectivity, are essential boundedness, cogenerating set, and residual smallness. In this overview paper, we first try to refresh these smallness condition by giving the detailed proofs of the results mainly by Bernhard Banaschewski and W...

Approximate Injectivity

In a locally λ-presentable category, with λ a regular cardinal, classes of objects that are injective with respect to a family of morphisms whose domains and codomains are λ-presentable, are known to be characterized by their closure under products, λ-directed colimits and λ-pure subobjects. Replacing the strict commutativity of diagrams by “commutativity up to ε”, this paper provides an “appro...
