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
