Groupoids

Abbreviation: Grpd

Definition

A \emph{groupoid} is a category C=C,,dom,cod such that

every morphism is an isomorphism: xy xy=dom(x) and yx=cod(x)

Morphisms

Let C and D be Schroeder categories. A morphism from C to D is a function h:CD that is a \emph{functor}: h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(dom(x))=dom(h(x)) and h(cod(x))=cod(h(x)).

Remark: These categories are also called \emph{Brandt groupoids}.
