CATEGORY OF MEDIAL MAGMAS

(Redirected from Medial category)
In mathematics, the 'medial category Med', that is, the 'category of medial magmas' has as objects sets with a medial binary operation, and morphisms given by homomorphisms of operations (in the universal algebra sense).
The category 'Med' has direct products, so the concept of a medial magma object (internal binary operation) makes sense. As a result, 'Med' has all its objects as ''medial objects'', and this characterizes it.
There is an inclusion functor from 'Set' to 'Med' as trivial magmas, with operations being the ''right'' projections
: (''x'', ''y'') → ''y''.
An injective endomorphism can be extended to an automorphism of a magma extension — the colimit of the constant sequence of the endomorphism.
