image (category theory)

1. Definition

Let 20230914-image_category_theory_760824120891fc757bc0445145b027d09b237baa.svg be a category and 20230914-image_category_theory_2f45efa620434a1c03713e6c4cc5527b5f5312bb.svg a morphism for objects 20230914-image_category_theory_fdbaf93a86ea373a5e213db683649d3d48f8f189.svg Then the image of 20230914-image_category_theory_5461866a7289ba4c56a10a82a5622bfbdcb4ae22.svg - if it exists - is defined as Subobject 20230914-image_category_theory_c294b2e802e2fe51d9f1e9e457d953401726a32d.svg with 20230914-image_category_theory_5bdac6238c5d15f4b690b5111e05bed86fd1fbaa.svg such that there exists a morphism 20230914-image_category_theory_1e3e10a6ff75048e11223116407398cae2fb7bb3.svg that makes following diagram commute
