Definition 5.50.

For an acyclic class \(L\), we define

\[L^{\mathrm{epi}} := L \cap \EffEpi, \qquad \qquadtext{ and } \qquad L^{\mathrm{mono}} := (L \cap \Mono)^{m} = (L \cap \Mono)^{c},\]

where the last equality holds by Corollary 5.43. We say \(L\) is monogenic if \(L = L^{\mathrm{mono}}\) (i.e. generated by its monomorphisms), and epigenic if \(L = L^{\mathrm{epi}}\) (i.e. it is contained in the effective epimorphisms).
