Finitely Presentable Morphisms in Exact Sequences

چکیده
Let K be a locally finitely presentable category. If K is abelian and the sequence 0 K // X // k // C c // // 0 // is short exact, we show that 1) K is finitely generated⇔ c is finitely presentable; 2) k is finitely presentable⇔ C is finitely presentable. The “⇐” directions fail for semi-abelian varieties. We show that all but (possibly) 2)(⇐) follow from analogous properties which hold in all locally finitely presentable categories. As for 2)(⇐), it holds as soon as K is also co-homological, and all its strong epimorphisms are regular. Finally, locally finitely coherent (resp. noetherian) abelian categories are characterized as those for which all finitely presentable morphisms have finitely generated (resp. presentable) kernel objects. 1. Finitely presentable morphisms Recall (from [GU, 71] or [AR, 94]) that an object X in a category K is finitely presentable (finitely generated) if the hom-functor K(X,−) : X −→ Set preserves filtered colimits (resp. colimits of filtered diagrams made of monomorphisms). Then, K is finitely accessible if it has a (small) set of finitely presentable objects whose closure under filtered colimits is all of K. Finally, K is locally finitely presentable if it is finitely accessible and cocomplete. 1.1. Definition. Let f : X // Y be a morphism in K. (a) f is finitely presentable (resp. finitely generated) if it is a finitely presentable (resp. finitely generated) object of the slice category (X ↓ K). (b) f is finitary if X and Y are finitely presentable. The finitary morphisms of K are actually the finitely presentable objects of the category of morphisms K→. They are precisely those finitely presentable morphisms with a finitely presentable domain (see below). Finitely presentable morphisms have been first considered in algebraic geometry, where they play an important role (for example in the Chevalley Theorem; see [GD, 64] and [D, 92]).

A Logic of Orthogonality
A logic of orthogonality characterizes all “orthogonality consequences” of a given class Σ of morphisms, i.e. those morphisms s such that every object orthogonal to Σ is also orthogonal to s. A simple four-rule deduction system is formulated which is sound in every cocomplete category. In locally presentable categories we prove that the deduction system is also complete (a) for all classes Σ of...
متن کاملThe Schur Multiplier, Profinite Completions and Decidability
We fix a finitely presented group Q and consider short exact sequences 1 → N → Γ → Q → 1 with Γ finitely generated. The inclusion N ↪→ Γ induces a morphism of profinite completions N̂ → Γ̂. We prove that this is an isomorphism for all N and Γ if and only if Q is super-perfect and has no proper subgroups of finite index. We prove that there is no algorithm that, given a finitely presented, residua...
متن کاملK-purity and Orthogonality
Adámek and Sousa recently solved the problem of characterizing the subcategories K of a locally λ-presentable category C which are λ-orthogonal in C, using their concept of Kλ-pure morphism. We strenghten the latter definition, in order to obtain a characterization of the classes defined by orthogonality with respect to λ-presentable morphisms (where f :A B is called λ-presentable if it is a λ-...

We investigate categorical versions of algebraically closed (= pure) embeddings, existentially closed embeddings, and the like, in the context of locally presentable categories. The definitions of S.

Related preservation theorems are obtained, and a new proof of the main result of Rosický, Adámek and Borceux ([RAB, 02])...
متن کاملDense Morphisms of Monads
Given an arbitrary locally finitely presentable category K and finitary monads T and S on K , we characterize monad morphisms α : S −→ T with the property that the induced functor α∗ : K T −→ K S between the categories of Eilenberg-Moore algebras is fully faithful. We call such monad morphisms dense and give a characterization of them in the spirit of Beth’s definability theorem: α is a dense m...
