The existence of UFO implies projectively universal morphisms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let mathcalC be a concrete category. We prove that if mathcalC admits a universally free object mathsfF, then there is a projectively universal morphism ucolonmathsfFomathsfF, i.e., a morphism u such that for any BinmathcalC and auinmMor(B) there exists an epimorphism piinmMor(mathsfF,B) such that piau=upi. This builds upon and extends various ideas by Darji and Matheron (Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 145 (2017)) who proved such a result for the category of separable Banach spaces with contractive operators as well as certain classes of dynamical systems on compact metric spaces. Specialising from our abstract setting, we conclude that the result applies to various categories of Banach spaces/lattices/algebras, C*-algebras, etc.
