\abbreviation{Cat}

\begin{definition}
A \emph{category} is a structure $\mathbf{C}=\langle C,\circ,\text{dom},\text{cod}\rangle$ of type $\langle 2,1,1\rangle$ such that
$C$ is a class,

$\langle C,\circ\rangle$ is a (large) \href{Partial_semigroups.pdf}{partial semigroup}

$\text{dom}(x)$ is a left unit:  $\text{dom}(x)\circ x=x$

$\text{cod}(x)$ is a right unit:  $x\circ\text{cod}(x)=x$

$\text{dom}(\text{dom}(x))=\text{dom}(x)=\text{cod}(\text{dom}(x))$

$\text{cod}(\text{cod}(x))=\text{cod}(x)=\text{dom}(\text{cod}(x))$

if $x\circ y$ exists then $\text{dom}(x\circ y)=\text{dom}(x)$ and $\text{cod}(x\circ y)=\text{cod}(y)$

$x\circ y$ exists iff $\text{cod}(x)=\text{dom}(y)$

Remark: The members of $C$ are called \emph{morphisms}, $\circ$ is the partial operation of \emph{composition},
dom is the \emph{domain} and cod is the \emph{codomain} of a morphism

This is a template.
If you know something about this class, click on the 'Edit text of this page' link at the bottom and fill out this page.

It is not unusual to give several (equivalent) definitions. Ideally, one of the definitions would give an irredundant axiomatization that does not refer to other classes.
\end{definition}

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be ... . A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism: 
$h(x ... y)=h(x) ... h(y)$
\end{morphisms}

\begin{definition}
An \emph{...} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,...\rangle$ of type $\langle
...\rangle$ such that

$...$ is ...:  $axiom$
  
$...$ is ...:  $axiom$
