Abstract: In this paper we introduce a notion of Mal'tsev object, and the dual notion of co-Mal'tsev object, in a general category. In particular, a category $mathbbC$ is a Mal'tsev category if and only if every object in $mathbbC$ is a Mal'tsev object. We show that for a well-powered regular category $mathbbC$ which admits coproducts, the full subcategory of Mal'tsev objects is coreflective in $mathbbC$. We show that the co-Mal'tsev objects in the category of topological spaces and continuous maps are precisely the $R_1$-spaces, and that the co-Mal'tsev objects in the category of metric spaces and short maps are precisely the ultrametric spaces.
