ABSTRACT
We introduce and investigate weak relative Rickart objects and dual weak relative Rickart objects in abelian categories. Several types of abelian categories are characterized in terms of (dual) weak relative Rickart properties. We relate our theory to the study of relative regular objects and (dual) relative Baer objects. We also give some applications to module and comodule categories.
