Conservative functors to pointed categories

Sandra Mantovani, Mariano Messora

Many results in categorical algebra rely fundamentally on pointedness, yet numerous categories of mathematical interest are not pointed. Building on ideas from the theory of ideall…

Ideally regular categories

Sandra Mantovani, Mariano Messora

In this note, we propose a generalisation of G. Janelidze's notion of an ideally exact category beyond the Barr exact setting. We define an ideally regular category as a regular, B…

Pretorsion theories in prenormal categories

Sandra Mantovani, Mariano Messora

In this paper we extend several classical results on pointed torsion theories -- also known as torsion pairs -- to the setting of non-pointed torsion theories defined via kernels a…

Prenormal categories

Sandra Mantovani, Mariano Messora

In this paper we introduce the notion of (pointed) prenormal category, modelled after regular categories, but with the key notions of coequaliser and kernel pair replaced by those…

A 2-dimensional torsion theory on symmetric monoidal categories

Mariano Messora

In this paper we describe a homotopy torsion theory in the category of small symmetric monoidal categories. Thanks to the use of natural isomorphisms as basis for the nullhomotopy…

Homotopy torsion theories

Sandra Mantovani, Mariano Messora, Enrico M. Vitale

In the context of categories equipped with a structure of nullhomotopies, we introduce the notion of homotopy torsion theory. As special cases, we recover pretorsion theories as we…
