Since -categories are additionally equipped with the structure of abelian groups on their -sets, itβs natural that we ask that functors between -categories preserve this structure. In particular, since every functor has an action which is a map of sets, when and are considered to be abelian groups, we should require that the action be a group homomorphism.

In passing we note that, since the -abelian-groups are groups, preservation of addition automatically implies preservation of the zero morphism, preservation of inverses, and thus preservation of subtraction.

Since the zero object in an -category is characterised as the unique object having , and -functors preserve both and , every -functor preserves zero objects. We say that the zero object, considered as a colimit, is absolute, i.e., preserved by every (relevant) functor.
