Abstract
We extend some recent of M. M. Clementino (Topology and its Applications 49 (1993)) and of the author (Cahiers de Topologie et Géométrie Différentielle Catégoriques XXXVII(4) (1996)) concerning when a regular closure operator is weakly hereditary. In this work, we study initial closure operators which include both regular and normal closure operators. Working in a quasi-additive regular category in which pullbacks of cokernels are cokernels, we characterize when they initial closure operators are weakly hereditary. For the category of all groups, we show that a non-trivial normal closure operator is never weakly hereditary.
