strong epis in the category of banach spaces with linear contractions

51 Views Asked by At

In Borceux's Handbook volume 1, page 145, the strong epis in the category of Banach spaces with bounded linear maps of norm <= 1 is characterized as the maps whose restriction on the unit balls is onto. However I don't follow the implication "strong epi" => "unitball unto". The argument given in the book is that if f: A ->> B is a strong epi, then for any element g: R -> B of B, the diagram

"strong epi diagram?"

produces an arrow h as shown, and so f must be onto when restricted to the unitball. But this diagram is not the diagram of strong epi, which would be something like

strong epi diagram

where f is a strong epi, and z is monic, inducing an arrow w as shown.

What is it I'm not getting here?
