Very basic question about pre-additive category












1












$begingroup$


I am trying to prove whether in a pre-additive category, $0_{Mor(y,z)}circ f=0_{Mor(x,z)}$ for objects $x,y,z$ and $fin Mor(x,y)$. Now, by bi-linearity of composition maps $$ 0_{Mor(y,z)}circ f+ 0_{Mor(y,z)}circ (-f)= 0_{Mor(y,z)} circ 0_{Mor(x,y)} $$



Putting $f=0_{Mor(x,y)}; ;$ we have $; ; 0_{Mor(y,z)} circ 0_{Mor(x,y)} =0_{Mor(x,z)}; ; $and we also get $; ; 0_{Mor(y,z)}circ f=-( 0_{Mor(y,z)}circ (-f))$. But I can't seem to progress any further.



Thanks in advance!

    Bilinearity of composition implies by definition $0circ f=0$ since the map $-circ f$ is a homomorphism of groups.

The answer to your question is basically in asdq's comment, allow me to expand a little.



By bilinearity you have that for $f in Mor(x,y)$ the mapping
$$
begin{align*}
-circ f colon Mor(y,z) &to Mor(x,z) \
x mapsto x circ f
end{align*}
$$

is a group homomorphism, in particular it sends $0_{Mor(y,z)}$ into $0_{Mor(x,z)}$, that is that $0_{Mor(y,z)}circ f = 0_{Mor(x,z)}$.

    The answer to your question is basically in asdq's comment, allow me to expand a little.



    By bilinearity you have that for $f in Mor(x,y)$ the mapping
    $$
    begin{align*}
    -circ f colon Mor(y,z) &to Mor(x,z) \
    x mapsto x circ f
    end{align*}
    $$

    is a group homomorphism, in particular it sends $0_{Mor(y,z)}$ into $0_{Mor(x,z)}$, that is that $0_{Mor(y,z)}circ f = 0_{Mor(x,z)}$.
