A NOTE ON THE EXACT COMPLETION OF A REGULAR CATEGORY, AND ITS INFINITARY GENERALIZATIONS ST

Theory and Applications of Categories, Vol. 5, No. 3, 1999, pp. 70{80.A NOTE ON THE EXACT COMPLETION OF A REGULARCATEGORY, AND ITS INFINITARY GENERALIZATIONSSTEPHEN LACKTransmitted by Walter TholenABSTRACT. A new description of the exact completion Cex/reg of a regular categoryC is given, using a certain topos Shv(C) of sheaves on C; the exact completion is thenconstructed as the closure of C in Shv(C) under nite limits and coequalizers of equiv-alence relations. An innitary generalization is proved, and the classical description ofthe exact completion is derived.1. IntroductionA category C with nite limits is said to be regular if every morphism factorizes as a strongepimorphism followed by a monomorphism, and moreover the strong epimorphisms arestable under pullback; it follows that the strong epimorphisms are precisely the regularepimorphisms, namely those arrows which are the coequalizer of their kernel pair. Everykernel pair is an equivalence relation; a regular category is said to be exact if everyequivalence relation is a kernel pair. Thus a regular category is a category with nitelimits and coequalizers of kernel pairs, satisfying certain exactness conditions; while anexact category is a category with nite limits and coequalizers of equivalence relations,satisfying certain exactness conditions. Regular and exact categories were introduced byBarr [1], but the denition given here is due to Joyal.A functor between regular categories is said to be regular if it preserves nite limits andstrong (=regular) epimorphisms. There is a 2-category Reg of regular categories, regularfunctors, and natural transformations, and it has a full sub-2-category Ex comprising theexact categories. The inclusion of Ex into Reg has a left biadjoint, and the value of thisbiadjoint at a regular category C is what we mean by the exact completion of the regularcategory C.Free regular and free exact categories have received a great deal of attention. Asyntactic description of the fr
