coregular

A category is coregular when its dual is regular, i.e. it is finitely cocomplete, for every morphism $Y \to X$ its cokernel pair $X \rightrightarrows X \sqcup_Y X$ has an equalizer, and regular monomorphisms are stable under pushouts.

Relevant implications

• abelian implies coregular
• balanced andcoregular implies mono-regular
• Barr-coexact is equivalent to coregular andeffective cocongruences
• coextensive andcoregular andmono-regular implies Malcev andeffective congruences
• coquotients of cocongruences andcoregular andpreadditive implies kernels
• coregular andeffective cocongruences implies coquotients of cocongruences
• coregular andmono-regular andwell-copowered implies well-powered
• coregular andself-dual implies regular
• coregular implies equalizers of cokernel pairs andfinitely cocomplete
• equalizers andfinitely cocomplete andlocally cocartesian coclosed implies coregular
• finitely cocomplete andthin implies coregular
• quasitopos implies coregular
• regular andself-dual implies coregular
