## Overview
**Anti-realists** about a category are those who don't believe entities of said category exist. **Realists** about a category are those that do. **Nominalism** refers to the stance that no abstract objects exist. That is, nominalists are anti-realists in regards to abstract entities.

## Kernels
Let $F \colon A \rightarrow B$. Define [[relations#Equivalence Relations|equivalence relation]] $\sim$ as $$x \sim y \Leftrightarrow f(x) = f(y)$$
Relation $\sim$ is called the **(equivalence) kernel** of $f$. The [[relations#Partitions|partition]] induced by $\sim$ on $A$ is called the **coimage** of $f$ (denoted $\mathop{\text{coim}}f$). The **fiber** of an element $y$ under $F$ is $F^{-1}[\![\{y\}]\!]$, i.e. the preimage of singleton set $\{y\}$. Therefore the equivalence classes of $\sim$ are also known as the fibers of $f$.

## Quotient Sets
If $R$ is an equivalence relation on $A$, then the **quotient set** "$A$ modulo $R$" is defined as $$A / R = \{[x]_R \mid x \in A\}.$$
