    Is the core of a category always a wide subcategory? I mean, in the most laziest sense of isomorphisms, why not include identity morphisms?

    Edit: I’m curious if cores always have a notion of fraction.

    Certainly it is.

    If your edited question is this:

    Let CC be a category and let WW be the class of isomorphisms of CC; note that WW is closed under composition and so defines a subcategory of CC, which is the core of CC. Must (C,W)(C,W) admit a calculus of right fractions?

    then the answer is yes. (And the situation is symmetric, so it also admits a calculus of left fractions.)
