morphismeina

Morphismeina is a concept in abstract mathematics used to describe a class of maps that preserve several compatible structures on the objects they connect. The notion is designed for contexts in which objects carry more than one kind of structure, such as topology, algebraic operations, or additional data like gradings or filtrations. A morphismeina f: A → B is then required to respect all of the designated structures simultaneously; for example, if A and B carry both a topology and an algebraic operation, f must be both continuous and an algebra homomorphism.

Origin and use: The term is employed in discussions of structured categories to unify different kinds of structure-preserving maps under a single umbrella. It provides a convenient label when studying objects with multiple compatible structures, enabling statements that apply to all structure-preserving maps at once.

Properties: Morphismeina are generally closed under composition, and every identity morphismeina is the identity on the object. In natural settings they interact well with common constructions such as products, pullbacks, and functorial images, making them a flexible tool for working with multi-structured objects.

Examples: Continuous equivariant maps between topological groups; maps of ringed spaces that are both continuous and ring homomorphisms; homomorphisms of graded algebras that preserve the grading.
