zero group as zero object

1. Proposition

The zero group is the zero object of the category Group

2. Proof

2.1. terminal object

The only map is

\begin{align*} \varphi: G \rightarrow 0 \\ g \mapsto 0 \end{align*}

2.2. initial object

Let \(G\) be a group, then the only welldefined grouphomomorphism is

\begin{align*} \varphi: 0 \rightarrow& G \\ 0 \mapsto e \end{align*}
