This is a typical example of a well-behaved additive category which is not abelian. It contains the category of free abelian groups.

Special objects

  • terminal object: trivial group
  • initial object: trivial group
  • products: direct products
  • coproducts: direct sums

Special morphisms

  • isomorphisms: bijective group homomorphisms
  • monomorphisms: injective group homomorphisms
  • epimorphisms: homomorphisms f:ABf : A \to B such that B/f(A)B/f(A) is a torsion group
  • regular monomorphisms: injective group homomorphisms i:ABi : A \to B such that B/i(A)B/i(A) is torsion-free, i.e., ii is the inclusion of a saturated subgroup
  • regular epimorphisms: surjective group homomorphisms

Undistinguishable categories

These categories in the database currently have exactly the same properties as the category of torsion-free abelian groups. This indicates that the data may be incomplete or that a distinguishing property may be missing from the database.
