Abstract:

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].

Fuzzy Closure Systems and Fuzzy Closure Operators

We introduce fuzzy closure systems and fuzzy closure operators as extensions of closure systems and closure operators. We study relationships between fuzzy closure systems and fuzzy closure spaces. In particular, two families F (S) and F (C) of fuzzy closure systems and fuzzy closure operators on X are complete lattice isomorphic.

n-closure systems and n-closure operators

It is very well known and permeating the whole of mathematics that a closure operator on a given set gives rise to a closure system, whose constituent sets form a complete lattice under inclusion, and vice-versa. Recent work of Wille on triadic concept analysis and subsequent work by the author on polyadic concept analysis led to the introduction of complete trilattices and complete n-lattices,...

Factorization, Fibration and Torsion

A simple definition of torsion theory is presented, as a factorization system with both classes satisfying the 3–for–2 property. Comparisons with the traditional notion are given, as well as connections with the notions of fibration and of weak factorization system, as used in abstract homotopy theory.

Semi-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...

Finite and Torsion Kk-theories

We develop a finite KK-theory of C∗-algebras following ArlettazH.Inassaridze’s approach to finite algebraic K-theory [1] . The BrowderKaroubi-Lambre’s theorem on the orders of the elements for finite algebraic K-theory [ , ] is extended to finite KK-theory. A new bivariant theory, called torsion KK-theory is defined as the direct limit of finite KK-theories. Such bivariant K-theory has almost a...

Closure Operators and Subalgebras

In this article we present several logical schemes. The scheme SubrelstrEx concerns a non empty relational structure A, a set B, and a unary predicate P, and states that: There exists a non empty full strict relational substructure S of A such that for every element x of A holds x is an element of S if and only if P[x] provided the following conditions are met: • P[B], • B ∈ the carrier of A. T...
