Pro-unipotent completion and Malcev completion
Let $G$ be a group and $k$ a field.
The Malcev completion $G \to \hat G$ over $k$ is (at least in this post) defined to be the group-like part $\mathbb{G}\widehat{k[G]}$ of the completed group ...

Formal completion along affine closed subscheme
Let $X$ be a scheme, $Z$ be a closed subscheme. If $Z$ is affine, is the formal completion $\hat X$ of $X$ along $Z$ necessarily an affine formal scheme?
I have heard this claim (at least when $Z$ is ...

What is the "cokernel completion" of the category Grp?
At a high level, algebra is the study of morphisms. In many nice categories, there are two types of morphisms — monomorphisms and epimorphisms — because every morphism decomposes as the application of ...
