  • notation: Meas\Meas
  • objects: measurable spaces
  • morphisms: measurable maps
  • Related categories: Top\Top

This is very similar to the category of topological spaces. Accordingly, limits and colimits can be constructed in the same way.

Special objects

  • terminal object: singleton set with the unique σ\sigma-algebra
  • initial object: empty set with the unique σ\sigma-algebra
  • products: direct products with the product σ\sigma-algebra
  • coproducts: disjoint union with the obvious σ\sigma-algebra

Special morphisms

  • isomorphisms: bijective measurable maps that map measurable sets to measurable sets
  • monomorphisms: injective measurable maps
  • epimorphisms: surjective measurable maps
  • regular monomorphisms: embeddings
  • regular epimorphisms: A measurable map f:XYf : X \to Y is a regular epimorphism iff ff is surjective and ff is a quotient map, meaning that a subset of YY is measurable when its ff-preimage is measurable.
