Hello Björn, Back in the 70s Reinhard Börger wrote a Master's thesis on such general quotient categories. His main findings of the time are recorded as Theorem 2.3 in my commemorative article of his work, available at http://www.math.yorku.ca/~tholen/ReinhardBoergerTribute.pdf A shortened version of that article is due to appear in the "Cahiers". Regards, Walter Quoting Björn Gohla <b.gohla@gmx.de>:
dear colleagues,
i am looking for a paper that i remember reading some years ago, but now seem unable to find.
it contained a detailed discussion of general quotients of categories, i.e., where objects can get identified.
i'd be grateful for any hints anyone can offer.
-- thanks, björn
