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:
“Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike. When anybody comes, if his special problem concerns the state, refer him to the governor of Pennsylvania. If his problem has a national phase, refer him to the United States Coal Commission. In no event bring him to me.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“I want in all cases to do right.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
