If is analytic and bounded by on , then Cauchy's derivative estimate giveson . Integrating along line segments gives a Lipschitz bound with the same constant in that smaller half-plane.

Final functor Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A functor is final when every comma category is nonempty and connected. Colimits are unchanged after restriction along a final functor.

Terminal object Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
A terminal object of a category receives exactly one morphism from every object . Any two terminal objects are uniquely isomorphic by composing their unique connecting maps.
A singleton is terminal in the Category of sets, and the trivial group is terminal among groups. The empty set is not terminal, because no function from a nonempty set to it exists. An object that is both initial and terminal is a zero object; this occurs for the trivial group but not in the category of all sets.
Subobject Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
A subobject of an object in a category is an equivalence class of monomorphisms . Two such maps are equivalent if an isomorphism between their domains makes the maps into agree. This removes dependence on the name of the chosen domain.
In the Category of sets, subobjects correspond to subsets; in the category of groups, they correspond to subgroups. The map into remains essential: two abstractly isomorphic subgroups can define different subobjects if they occupy different positions in . Dually, quotient objects are equivalence classes of epimorphisms out of an object.
Epimorphism Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
An epimorphism is right-cancellative: implies . In the Category of sets and in abelian groups, epimorphisms are precisely the surjective homomorphisms.

Functor Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A functor assigns an object of a category to each object and a categorical morphism to each arrow . It preserves the rules for composing arrows:For example, the forgetful functor from the category of groups to the Category of sets keeps the underlying sets and maps of elements while forgetting the group operations. A group homomorphism remains a function, and composing the underlying functions gives the underlying map of the composite group homomorphism.
