A Logic of Injectivity

Category Theory 2007-09-18 v1

Abstract

Injectivity of objects with respect to a set ch\ch of morphisms is an important concept of algebra, model theory and homotopy theory. Here we study the logic of injectivity consequences of ch\ch, by which we understand morphisms hh such that injectivity with respect to ch\ch implies injectivity with respect to hh. We formulate three simple deduction rules for the injectivity logic and for its finitary version where \mor s between finitely ranked objects are considered only, and prove that they are sound in all categories, and complete in all "reasonable" categories.
