The category of groupsπ
The category of groups, as the name implies, has its objects the
Groups
, with the morphisms
between them the group homomorphisms
.

The underlying setπ
The category of groups admits a faithful
functor into the
category of sets, written
which projects out the underlying set of the group. Faithfulness of this
functor says, in more specific words, that equality of group
homomorphisms can be tested by comparing the underlying morphisms of
sets.
