Characterization of Torsion Theories in General Categories
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a pointed category with kernels and cokernels, we characterize torsion–free classes in terms of their closure under extensions. They are also described as indexed reflections. We obtain a corresponding characterization of torsion classes by formal categorical dualization.

From torsion theories to closure operators and factorization systems
Torsion theories are here extended to categories equipped with an ideal of 'null morphisms', or equivalently a full subcategory of 'null objects'. Instances of this extension include closure operators viewed as generalised torsion theories in a 'category of pairs', and factorization systems viewed as torsion theories in a category of morphisms. The first point has essentially been treated in [15].
متن کامل-torsion free Acts Over Monoids
In this paper firt of all we introduce a generalization of torsion freeness of acts over monoids, called -torsion freeness. Then in section 1 of results we give some general properties and in sections 2, 3 and 4 we give a characterization of monoids for which this property of their right Rees factor, cyclic and acts in general implies some other properties, respectively.
متن کاملSemi-abelian categories, torsion theories and factorisation systems
Semi-abelian categories [5] provide a suitable axiomatic context to study, among other things, the (co)homology of non-abelian algebraic structures (such as groups, compact groups, crossed modules, commutative rings, and Lie algebras), torsion and radical theories, and commutator theory. In this talk a brief introduction to some elementary properties of these categories will be given, before fo...
متن کاملTorsion theories and radicals in normal categories
We introduce a relativized notion of (semi)normalcy for categories that come equipped with a proper stable factorization system, and we use radicals and normal closure operators in order to study torsion theories in such categories. Our results generalize and complement recent studies in the realm of semi-abelian and, in part, homological categories. In particular, we characterize both, torsion...
متن کاملOn the property $U$-($G$-$PWP$) of acts
In this paper first of all we introduce Property $U$-($G$-$PWP$) of acts, which is an extension of Condition $(G$-$PWP)$ and give some general properties. Then we give a characterization of monoids when this property of acts implies some others. Also we show that the strong (faithfulness, $P$-cyclicity) and ($P$-)regularity of acts imply the property $U$-($G$-$PWP$). Finally, we give a necessar...
