Finitely generated object
 | This article relies on a single source. (February 2024) |
In category theory, a finitely generated object is the quotient of a free object over a finite set, in the sense that it is the target of a regular epimorphism from a free object that is free on a finite set.[1]
For instance, one way of defining a finitely generated group is that it is the image of a group homomorphism from a finitely generated free group.
