In [[category theory]], the notion of a '''projective object''' generalizes the notion of a [[projective module]].

An object ''P'' in a category '''C''' is '''projective'''  if the [[hom functor]]
:<math> \operatorname{Hom}(P,-)\colon\mathcal{C}\to\mathbf{Set}</math>
preserves [[epimorphism]]s. That is, every morphism ''f:P→X'' factors through every epi ''Y→X''.
 
Let  <math>\mathcal{C}</math> be an [[abelian category]]. In this context, an object  <math>P\in\mathcal{C}</math> is called a ''projective object'' if 
 
:<math> \operatorname{Hom}(P,-)\colon\mathcal{C}\to\mathbf{Ab}</math>
 
is an [[exact functor]], where  <math>\mathbf{Ab}</math> is the [[Category (mathematics)|category]] of [[abelian group]]s.  
 
The dual notion of a projective object is that of an '''[[injective object]]''': An object <math>Q</math> in an abelian category <math>\mathcal{C}</math> is ''injective'' if the  <math>\operatorname{Hom}(-,Q)</math> [[Hom functor|functor]] from  <math>\mathcal{C}</math> to <math>\mathbf{Ab}</math> is exact.
 
==Enough projectives==
Let  <math>\mathcal{A}</math> be an [[abelian category]]. <math>\mathcal{A}</math> is said to have '''enough projectives''' if, for every object <math>A</math> of  <math>\mathcal{A}</math>, there is a projective object <math>P</math> of  <math>\mathcal{A}</math> and an [[exact sequence]] 
 
:<math>P \longrightarrow A \longrightarrow 0.</math>
 
In other words, the [[function (mathematics)|map]]  <math>p\colon P \to A</math> is "epi", or an [[epimorphism]].
 
==Examples.==
Let <math>R</math> be a [[ring (mathematics)|ring]] with 1. Consider the category of left <math>R</math>-modules  <math>\mathcal{M}_R.</math>  <math>\mathcal{M}_R</math> is an abelian category. The projective objects in  <math>\mathcal{M}_R</math> are precisely the [[projective module|projective left R-modules]]. So <math>R</math> is itself a projective object in  <math>\mathcal{M}_R.</math> Dually, the injective objects in  <math>\mathcal{M}_R</math> are exactly the [[injective module|injective left R-modules]].  
 
The [[Category (mathematics)|category]] of left (right) <math>R</math>-modules also has enough projectives. This is true since, for every left (right) <math>R</math>-module <math>M</math>, we can take <math>F</math> to be the free (and hence projective) <math>R</math>-module generated by a generating set <math>X</math> for <math>M</math> (we can in fact take <math>X</math> to be <math>M</math>). Then the [[canonical projection]]  <math>\pi\colon F\to M</math> is the required [[surjection]].

Emilia Shryock is my name but you can contact me something you like. For years I've been working as a payroll clerk. For a whilst she's been in South Dakota. One of the issues she enjoys most is to do aerobics and now she is attempting to make cash with it.
