A note on the Huq-commutativity of normal monomorphisms

Category Theory 2022-06-28 v1

Abstract

We give an alternative criteria for when a pair of Bourn-normal monomorphisms Huq-commute in a unital category. We use this to prove that in a unital category, in which a morphism is a monomorphism if and only if its kernel is zero morphism, a pair of Bourn-normal monomorphisms with the same codomain Huq-commute as soon as they have trivial pullback. As corollaries we show that several facts known only in the protomodular context are in fact true in more general contexts.
