On algebraic and more general categories whose split epimorphisms have underlying product projections

Category Theory 2012-08-13 v1

Abstract

We characterize those varieties of universal algebras where every split epimorphism considered as a map of sets is a product projection. In addition we obtain new characterizations of protomodular, unital and subtractive varieties as well as varieties of right omega-loops and biternary systems.
