A characterization of final functors between internal groupoids in exact categories

Alan S. Cigoli

This paper provides three characterizations of final functors between internal groupoids in an exact category (in the sense of Barr). In particular, it is proved that a functor between internal groupoids is final if and only if it is internally full and essentially surjective.

Keywords: exact category, internal groupoid, final functor, comprehensive factorization
