CatDat

category of commutative algebras

This category is a generalization of the category of commutative rings, which we get for R=ZR = \IZ. In general, CAlg(R)R/CRing\CAlg(R) \cong R \,/\, \CRing. We assume our rings (and algebras) to be unital. For R=0R = 0 we would get the trivial category, which is why we exclude this here.

Special objects

  • terminal object: trivial algebra
  • initial object: RR
  • products: direct products with pointwise operations
  • coproducts: tensor products over RR

Special morphisms

  • isomorphisms: bijective morphisms
  • monomorphisms: injective morphisms
  • epimorphisms: a homomorphism of algebras which is an epimorphism of commutative rings
  • regular monomorphisms:
  • regular epimorphisms: surjective morphisms

Indistinguishable categories

These categories in the database currently have exactly the same properties as the category of commutative algebras. This indicates that the data may be incomplete or that a distinguishing property may be missing from the database.
