  • Some remarks on connectors and groupoids in goursat categories
    Publication . Gran, Marino; Nguefeu, Idriss Tchoffo; Rodelo, Diana
    We prove that connectors are stable under quotients in any (regular) Goursat category. As a consequence, the category Conn(C) of connectors in C is a Goursat category whenever C is. This implies that Goursat categories can be characterised in terms of a simple property of internal groupoids.
  • Beck-Chevalley condition and Goursat categories
    Publication . Gran, Marino; Rodelo, Diana
    We characterise regular Goursat categories through a specific stability property of regular epimorphisms with respect to pullbacks. Under the assumption of the existence of some pushouts this property can be also expressed as a restricted Beck Chevalley condition, with respect to the fibration of points, for a special class of commutative squares. In the case of varieties of universal algebras these results give, in particular, a structural explanation of the existence of the ternary operations characterising 3-permutable varieties of universal algebras.
