CatDat

category of left modules over a ring

This is the prototype of an abelian category. The category of right modules is the same with the opposite ring RopR^{\op}, hence not listed here. We assume R0R \neq 0 since otherwise the category would be trivial.

There is 1 property for which it cannot be decided if it is satisfied or not.

Special objects

  • terminal object: zero module
  • initial object: zero module
  • products: direct products with pointwise operations
  • coproducts: direct sums

Special morphisms

  • isomorphisms: bijective morphisms
  • monomorphisms: injective morphisms
  • epimorphisms: surjective morphisms
  • regular monomorphisms: same as monomorphisms
  • regular epimorphisms: surjective morphisms
