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 treatment of the incident of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that I am of the opinion that there is a good prospect that the differences growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this Government by the usual methods and without special powers from Congress.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
