Special Cases
Most of these special cases of preadditive categories have all been mentioned above, but they're gathered here for reference.
- A ring is a preadditive category with exactly one object.
- An additive category is a preadditive category with all finite biproducts.
- A pre-Abelian category is an additive category with all kernels and cokernels.
- An Abelian category is a pre-Abelian category such that every monomorphism and epimorphism is normal.
The preadditive categories most commonly studied are in fact Abelian categories; for example, Ab is an Abelian category.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or cases:
“The rebellion is against time pollution, the feeling that the essence of what makes life worth living—the small moments, the special family getaways, the cookies in the oven, the weekend drives, the long dreamlike summers Mso much of this has been taken from us, or we have given it up. For what? Hitachi stereos? Club Med? Company cars? Racquetball? For fifteen-hour days and lousy day care?”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Lovers’ quarrels are not generally about money. Divorce cases generally are.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
