inhabited
A category is inhabited (or non-empty) if it has at least one object.
Relevant implications
- binary coproducts and groupoid and inhabited implies trivial
- binary coproducts and inhabited implies connected
- binary products and groupoid and inhabited implies trivial
- binary products and inhabited implies connected
- cogenerator implies inhabited
- connected implies inhabited
- generator implies inhabited
- inhabited and thin implies cogenerator
- inhabited and thin implies generator
- inhabited and zero morphisms implies connected
