Non-pointed exactness, radicals, closure operators

Abstract:
In this paper it is shown how non-pointed exactness provides a framework which allows a simple categorical treatment of the basics of Kurosh-Amitsur radical theory in the non-pointed case. This is made possible by a new approach to semi-exactness, in the sense of the first author, using adjoint functors. This framework also reveals how categorical closure operators arise as radical theories.

Keywords:
semiexact categories, adjoint functors, radical theory, closure operators
