Let $f: A\rightarrow B$ is a morphism of a category.
- If there exists morphism $g: B\rightarrow A$ such that $g\circ f=1_A$ then $f$ is called retractable and $g$ is called retraction of $f$
- If there exists morphism $g: B\rightarrow A$ such that $f\circ g=1_B$ then $f$ is called sectionable and $g$ is called section of $f$
