An Embedding Theorem for Abelian Categories

An embedding theorem for Hilbert categories

We axiomatically define (pre-)Hilbert categories. The axioms resemble those for monoidal Abelian categories with the addition of an involutive functor. We then prove embedding theorems: any locally small pre-Hilbert category whose monoidal unit is a simple generator embeds (weakly) monoidally into the category of pre-Hilbert spaces and adjointable maps, preserving adjoint morphisms and all fini...

Barr’s Embedding Theorem for Enriched Categories

We generalize Barr’s embedding theorem for regular categories to the context of enriched categories.

Gorenstein projective objects in Abelian categories

Let $mathcal {A}$ be an abelian category with enough projective objects and $mathcal {X}$ be a full subcategory of $mathcal {A}$. We define Gorenstein projective objects with respect to $mathcal {X}$ and $mathcal{Y}_{mathcal{X}}$, respectively, where $mathcal{Y}_{mathcal{X}}$=${ Yin Ch(mathcal {A})| Y$ is acyclic and $Z_{n}Yinmathcal{X}}$. We point out that under certain hypotheses, these two G...

Abelian Categories

Abelian categories are the most general category in which one can develop homological algebra. The idea and the name “abelian category” were first introduced by MacLane [Mac50], but the modern axiomitisation and first substantial applications were given by Grothendieck in his famous Tohoku paper [Gro57]. This paper was motivated by the needs of algebraic geometry, where the category of sheaves ...
