Mar 31, 2015 at 19:15 comment added Exterior @LiviuNicolaescu I'm sure you are right. Andreas Blass's comment helped me understand that the measure is another piece of structures one should ask the arrows to respect.
Mar 31, 2015 at 19:13 comment added Liviu Nicolaescu @Exterior I do not understand your comment. The arrows do matter. Think of the ring of $2$-adics $\mathbb{Z}_{(2)}$ vs. the ring of $3$-adics $\mathbb{Z}_{(3)}$. They're defined by identical diagrams, but the meaning of arrows is different. The result is nonisomorphic local rings.
Mar 31, 2015 at 19:09 comment added Andreas Blass Liviu is right. In a category of probability spaces, one wants morphisms that respect the whole probability space structure, not just the $\sigma$-algebra but also the measure.
Mar 31, 2015 at 18:59 comment added Exterior @LiviuNicolaescu that feels artificial though. Usually, compatibility conditions come from unraveling the definitions of limit, not from the arrows themselves.
Mar 31, 2015 at 18:57 comment added Liviu Nicolaescu How about the category of probability spaces $(\Omega, \mathscr{O}, P)$ where morphisms are measurable maps $(\Omega_0,\mathscr{O}_0,P_0)\to (\Omega_1,\mathscr{O}_1,P_1)$ such that $f_*P_0=P_1$.
