Sep 24, 2010 at 16:52 comment added Martin Brandenburg Ah ok. This is an example of a morphism in the category of loc. comp. top. groups, which is mono and epi, but not iso. Thus this category is not abelian, as I expected.
Sep 24, 2010 at 16:42 comment added Todd Trimble The homomorphism R --> R/Z x R/Z which takes t to (t mod Z, st mod Z) where s is irrational. This is a continuous injective homomorphism, with dense image.
Sep 24, 2010 at 15:03 comment added Martin Brandenburg @Todd: Hm, I don't understand this example yet. Which homomorphism are you considering? And also, is it continuous?
Sep 24, 2010 at 14:11 comment added Todd Trimble Since the category of locally compact Hausdorff abelian groups is self-dual, we may as well ask whether every monomorphism is a kernel. And indeed that's false: kernels are closed subgroups, so the irrational line on a torus would be a counterexample.
