A note on morphisms determined by objects

Abstract

We prove that a Hom-finite additive category having determined morphisms on both sides is a dualizing variety. This complements a result by Krause. We prove that in a Hom-finite abelian category having Serre duality, a morphism is right determined by some object if and only if it is an epimorphism. We give a characterization to abelian categories having Serre duality via determined morphisms.
