5.2.\textbf{5.2.} \enspace \triangleright Prove that \emptyset is the unique initial object in Set.[§5.1]\mathsf{Set}. \enspace [\S5.1]


5.3.\textbf{5.3.} \enspace \triangleright Prove that the final objects are unique up to isomorphism. [§5.1][\S5.1]


5.5.\textbf{5.5.} \enspace \triangleright What are the final objects in the category considered in §5.3?[§5.3]\S 5.3\text{?} \> [\S 5.3]

Solution

Recall that the morphisms in §5.3\S 5.3 are commutative diagrams

5.6\textbf{5.6} \enspace \triangleright Consider the category corresponding to endowing (as in Example 3.3) the set Z+\Z^+ of positive integers with the divisibility relation. Thus there is exactly one morphism dmd \to m in this category if and only if dd divides mm without remainder; there is no morphism between dd and mm otherwise. Show that this category has products and coproducts. What are their 'conventional' names? [§VII.5.1][\S\text{VII}.5.1]
