Disconnectedness Classes


G Castellini

Abstract

Let χ be an (E, M)-category for sinks.
A notion of disconnectedness with respect to a closure operator C on χ and
to a class of χ-monomorphisms N is introduced. This gives
rise to the notion of N-disconnectedness class, a characterization
of which is presented in a category with a terminal object. Some examples are
provided.
