A new characterisation of groups amongst monoids

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove that a monoid MM is a group if and only if, in the category of monoids, all points over MM are strong. This sharpens and greatly simplifies a result of Montoli, Rodelo and Van der Linden which characterises groups amongst monoids as the protomodular objects.
