kernel (category theory)

Definition

Let 20230827-kernel_category_theory_985b96adbc801fbbbe00ac354f4e5f9fa2a8c5dd.svg be a category enriched over category set* and 20230827-kernel_category_theory_328fd42a152a7d93c7235971885d950240d385d5.svg.

Then the kernel 20230827-kernel_category_theory_ffc6cd2ef9567abbbb0f27aeabdc7f30ef9a833a.svg - if it exists - is defined as pullback
