normal monomorphism

A morphism $m : A \to B$ in a category with zero morphisms is a normal monomorphism if it is the kernel of a morphism $f : B \to C$, i.e. the equalizer of $f$ and the zero morphism $0_{B,C} : B \to C$.

Relevant implications

• isomorphism () implies normal monomorphism
• normal monomorphism implies regular monomorphism
• regular monomorphism () implies normal monomorphism
