Some remarks on groupoids and small categories

Category Theory 2007-10-19 v1 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

This unpublished note contains some materials taken from my old study note on groupoids and small categories. It contains a proof for the fact that any groupoid is a group bundle over an equivalence relation. Moreover, the action of a category GG on a category HH as well as the resulting semi-direct product category H×αGH\times_\alpha G will be defined (when either GG is a groupoid or H(0)=G(0)H^{(0)} = G^{(0)}). If both GG and HH are groupoids, then H×αGH\times_\alpha G is also a groupoid. The reason of producing this note is for people who want to check some details in a recent work of Li.
