In , which statement is correct?
Which of these categories have a zero object (an object that is both initial and terminal)? Select all that apply.
Regard the positive integers, ordered by divisibility ( iff ), as a category. What is the coproduct of and ?
In , let , and . How many morphisms are there? (Use the universal property rather than listing them.)
In the proof that two products and of and are isomorphic, we have and with and . Why is ?
What is the coproduct of and in the category of commutative rings with identity?
Which statements are true? Select all that apply.
Mathlib writes h ≫ π₁ for (first h, then π₁). Which Lean field correctly expresses the uniqueness clause of the universal property of a product with projections π₁ : P ⟶ A, π₂ : P ⟶ B?
Write glb(elements, leq, a, b) returning the product of a and b in a finite poset — the greatest lower bound — or None if it does not exist. Here elements is a list and leq(x, y) decides .
