Given an extriangulated category $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$, we introduce the $3 \times 3$-lemma property for subfunctors of $\mathbb{E}$ and prove that an additive subfunctor $\mathbb{F}$ of $\mathbb{E}$ is closed if, and only…

We show that direct summands of certain additive functors arising as bifunctors with a fixed argument in an abelian category are again of that form whenever the fixed argument has finite length or, more generally, satisfies the descending…

Motivated by some problems proposed by Cuadra and Simson related to flat objects in finitely accessible Grothendieck categories, we study flatness in the more general setting of finitely accessible additive categories. For such category…

In an abelian category $\mathscr{A}$ with small ${\rm Ext}$ groups, we show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between any two of the following: balanced pairs, subfunctors $\mathcal{F}$ of ${\rm Ext}^{1}_{\mathscr{A}}(-,-)$ such…

Let $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{E})$ be an exact category. We establish basic results that allow one to identify sub(bi)functors of $\operatorname{Ext}_{\mathcal{E}}(-,-)$ using additivity of numerical functions and restriction to subcategories.…

Given a torsion pair $(\mathcal{T},\mathcal{F})$ in an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$ and its Happel-Reiten-Smal{\o} tilt $\mathcal{B}$, the equivalence of the realization functor $D^b({\mathcal B})\to D^b({\mathcal A})$ is determined by…

This paper consists of three results on Frobenius categories: (1) we give sufficient conditions on when a factor category of a Frobenius category is still a Frobenius category; (2) we show that any Frobenius category is equivalent to an…

Given any additive category $\mathcal{C}$ with split idempotents, pseudokernels and pseudocokernels, we show that a subcategory $\mathcal{B}$ is coreflective if, and only if, it is precovering, closed under direct summands and each morphism…

Given a small abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, the Freyd-Mitchell embedding theorem states the existence of a ring $R$ and an exact full embedding $\mathcal{A} \rightarrow R$-Mod. This theorem is useful as it allows one to prove general…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a small $n$-abelian category. We show that the category of absolutely pure group valued functors over $\mathcal{M}$, denote by $\mathcal{L}_2(\mathcal{M},\mathcal{G})$, is an abelian category and $\mathcal{M}$ is…

Let $j:Y \to X$ be a continuous surjection of compact metric spaces. Whyburn proved that $j$ is irreducible, meaning that $j(F) \subsetneq X$ for any proper closed subset $F \subsetneq Y$, if and only if $j$ is almost one-to-one, in the…

We prove a bicategorical analogue of Quillen's Theorem A. As an application, we deduce the well-known result that a pseudofunctor is a biequivalence if and only if it is essentially surjective on objects, essentially full on 1-cells, and…

A simple criterion for a functor to be finitary is presented: we call $F$ finitely bounded if for all objects $X$ every finitely generated subobject of $FX$ factorizes through the $F$-image of a finitely generated subobject of $X$. This is…

Building on previous work, we study the splitting of idempotents in the category of extensions $\mathbb{E}\operatorname{-Ext}(\mathcal{C})$ associated to a pair $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E})$ of an additive category and a biadditive functor to…

In this paper, we obtain a non-abelian analogue of Lubkin's embedding theorem for abelian categories. Our theorem faithfully embeds any small regular Mal'tsev category $\mathbb{C}$ in an $n$-th power of a particular locally finitely…

For an additive category $\mathbf{P}$ we provide an explict construction of a category $\mathcal{Q}( \mathbf{P} )$ whose objects can be thought of as formally representing $\frac{\mathrm{im}( \gamma )}{\mathrm{im}( \rho ) \cap \mathrm{im}(…

Let $\Sigma$ be a small category and $\mathcal{A}$ be a $\Sigma$-co-complete (resp. $\Sigma$-complete) abelian category. It is a well-known fact that the category $\operatorname{Fun}(\Sigma,\mathcal{A})$ of functors of $\Sigma$ in…

We consider several types of non-existence theorems for functors. For example, there are no nontrivial functors from the category of groups (or the category of pointed sets, or vector spaces) to any small category. Another type of questions…

We give a classification of substructures (= closed subbifunctors) of a given skeletally small extriangulated category by using the category of defects, in a similar way to the author's classification of exact structures of a given additive…

We fix any bicategory $\mathscr{A}$ together with a class of morphisms $\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}$, such that there is a bicategory of fractions $\mathscr{A}[\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}^{-1}]$. Given another such pair…
