Abstract

William Lawvere and Myles Tierney gave six axioms for an abstract category to be the category of sets. Since a graph can be viewed as a set with a special structure, these six axioms seem a natural point for beginning an investigation of the category of graphs. I will describe the categorial structures I’ve discovered when trying to determine if these axioms were satisfied.
