Abstract

We formalize the concept of a centralizer-respecting homomorphism, surjective homomorphisms which are equivariant with respect to taking the centralizer of a subgroup. There is a functor from the category of centralizer-respecting homomorphisms to the category of centralizer lattices. Finally, we conclude with some theorems about centralizer-respecting homomorphisms that show that the category of centralizer-respecting homomorphisms has many interesting maps.
