Prove that is the unique initial object in
Prove that the final objects are unique up to isomorphism.
What are the final objects in the category considered in
Solution
Recall that the morphisms in are commutative diagrams
Consider the category corresponding to endowing (as in Example 3.3) the set of positive integers with the divisibility relation. Thus there is exactly one morphism in this category if and only if divides without remainder; there is no morphism between and otherwise. Show that this category has products and coproducts. What are their 'conventional' names?
