Pretorsion theories in general categories

Abstract: We present a setting for the study of torsion theories in general categories. The idea is to associate, with any pair (mathcalT, mathcalF) of full replete subcategories in a category mathcalC, the corresponding full subcategory mathcalZ=mathcalTcapmathcalF of emph{trivial objects} in mathcalC. The morphisms which factor through mathcalZ are called mathcalZ-trivial, and these form an ideal of morphisms, with respect to which one can define mathcalZ-prekernels, mathcalZ-precokernels, and short mathcalZ-preexact sequences. This naturally leads to the notion of pretorsion theory, which is the object of study of this article, and includes the classical one in the abelian context when mathcalZ is reduced to the 0-object of mathcalC. We study the basic properties of pretorsion theories, and examine some new examples in the category of all endomappings of finite sets and in the category of preordered sets.
