Abstract

We investigate canonical factorizations of ordered functors of ordered groupoids through star-surjective functors. Our main construction is a quotient ordered groupoid, depending on an ordered version of the notion of normal subgroupoid, that results is the factorization of an ordered functor as a star-surjective functor followed by a star-injective functor. Any star-injective functor possesses a universal factorization through a covering, by Ehresmann's Maximum Enlargement Theorem. We also show that any ordered functor has a canonical factorization through a functor with the ordered homotopy lifting property.
