4.1.2 Morphisms of Pointed Sets

A morphism of pointed sets1,2 is equivalently:

  • A morphism of $\mathbb {E}_{0}$-monoids in $\webleft (\mathrm{N}_{\bullet }\webleft (\mathsf{Sets}\webright ),\text{pt}\webright )$.
  • A morphism of pointed objects in $\webleft (\mathsf{Sets},\text{pt}\webright )$.


1Further Terminology: Also called a pointed function.
2Further Terminology: In the context of monoids with zero as models for $\mathbb {F}_{1}$-algebras, morphisms of pointed sets are also called morphism of $\mathbb {F}_{1}$-modules.

In detail, a morphism of pointed sets $f\colon \webleft (X,x_{0}\webright )\to \webleft (Y,y_{0}\webright )$ is a morphism of sets $f\colon X\to Y$ such that the diagram

commutes, i.e. such that

\[ f\webleft (x_{0}\webright ) = y_{0}. \]
