On coherent systems of subobjects with application to torsion theories

Francis Borceux and Maria Manuel Clementino

In a coherent category, the posets of subobjects have very strong properties. We emphasize the validity of these properties, in general categories, for well-behaved classes of subobjects. As an example of application, we investigate the problem of the various torsion theories which can be universally associated with a pretorsion one.
