Preprint: a paper on injective hulls
This is to announce a paper that can be obtained as "Paper3-2000.ps" on the address ftp://ftp.iti.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/staff/adamek TITLE: Injective Hulls are not Natural AUTHORS: J. Adamek, H. Herrlich, J. Rosicky and W. Tholen ABSTRACT: In a category with injective hulls and a cogenerator, the embeddings into injective hulls can never form a natural transformation, unless all objects are injective. In particular, assigning to a field its algebraic closure, to a poset or boolean algebra its MacNeille completion, and to an R-module its injective envelope is not functorial, if one wants the respective embeddings to form a natural transformation. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx alternative e-mail address (in case reply key does not work): J.Adamek@tu-bs.de xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
