Abstract

type:Departmental Bulletin Paper

In this series on group completions various categorical constructions of universal grouplike objects from symmetric monoidal objects will be studied. This paper is the first part in which we deal with the ordinary group completions of commutative monoids and observe some other aspects than the ordinary Grothendieck group construction. The relations of the ordinary construction with colimits and lax colimits over the translation category of a commutative monoid are established. Further we consider the commutativity of the group completion construction with limits and lax limits over a group(i.e. Galois descent).
