Zero morphisms and zero objects #

A category "has zero morphisms" if there is a designated "zero morphism" in each morphism space, and compositions of zero morphisms with anything give the zero morphism. (Notice this is extra structure, not merely a property.)
A category "has a zero object" if it has an object which is both initial and terminal. Having a zero object provides zero morphisms, as the unique morphisms factoring through the zero object.

If you're tempted to use this lemma "in the wild", you should probably
carefully consider whether you've made a mistake in allowing two
instances of has_zero_morphisms
to exist at all.
See, particularly, the note on zero_morphisms_of_zero_object
below.

A category with a zero object has zero morphisms.
It is rarely a good idea to use this. Many categories that have a zero object have zero
morphisms for some other reason, for example from additivity. Library code that uses
zero_morphisms_of_zero_object
will then be incompatible with these categories because
the has_zero_morphisms
instances will not be definitionally equal. For this reason library
code should generally ask for an instance of has_zero_morphisms
separately, even if it already
asks for an instance of has_zero_objects
.

is isomorphic to 0, there's no need to use choice to construct
an explicit isomorphism: the zero morphism suffices.

A zero morphism 0 : X ⟶ X
is an isomorphism if and only if
X
is isomorphic to the zero object.
If there are zero morphisms, any initial object is a zero object.
If there are zero morphisms, any terminal object is a zero object.
The zero morphism has a mono_factorisation
through the zero object.
The factorisation through the zero object is an image factorisation.

The image of a zero morphism is the zero object.
The image of a morphism which is equal to zero is the zero object.
If we know f = 0
,
it requires a little work to conclude image.ι f = 0
,
because f = g
only implies image f ≅ image g
