We study the existence and uniqueness of minimal right determiners in various categories. Particularly in a Hom-finite hereditary abelian category with enough projectives, we prove that the Auslander-Reiten-Smalø-Ringel formula of the minimal right determiner still holds. As an application, we give a formula of minimal right determiners in the category of finitely presented representations of strongly locally finite quivers.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 18A05,16G20, 16G70. Key words and phrases. morphisms determined by objects, Krull-Schmidt categories, almost split sequences, strongly locally finite quivers. Lemma 2.2.5. Let S be the poset of all the right determiners of f . If S is closed under arbitary intersections, then f has a unique minimal right determiner. Proof. Because S is closed under intersections, D∈S D will be the minimum element of S.Notice that the converse of Lemma 2.2.5 is not true, see Example 7.0.8.
