Zero objects

A category "has a zero object" if it has an object which is both initial and terminal. Having a zero object provides zero morphisms, as the unique morphisms factoring through the zero object; see CategoryTheory.Limits.Shapes.ZeroMorphisms.

structure CategoryTheory.Limits.IsZero {C : Type u} [Category.{v, u} C] (X : C) : Prop

An object X in a category is a zero object if for every object Y there is a unique morphism to : X → Y and a unique morphism from : Y → X.

This is a characteristic predicate for has_zero_object.

• unique_to (Y : C) : Nonempty (Unique (X ⟶ Y))

  there are unique morphisms to the object

• unique_from (Y : C) : Nonempty (Unique (Y ⟶ X))

  there are unique morphisms from the object

If h : IsZero X, then h.to_ Y is a choice of unique morphism X → Y.
