core-connected

We say that a category C\C is core-connected if it satisfies one of the following equivalent conditions:
  1. The core of C\C is connected.
  2. There is an object X∈CX \in \C such that every object of C\C is isomorphic to XX.
  3. There is a (possibly large) monoid MM such that C\C is equivalent to the one-object category BMBM.
This is not standard terminology. We have added this property to systematically handle the one-object categories in the database; a category has exactly one object iff it is core-connected and skeletal.

Counterexamples

Unknown

There are 0 categories for which the database has no information on whether they satisfy this property.
