Codiscrete categories #

We define Codiscrete A as an alias for the type A , and use this type alias to provide a Category instance whose Hom type are Unit types.

Codiscrete.functor promotes a function f : C → A (for any category C) to a functor f : C ⥤ Codiscrete A.

Similarly, Codiscrete.natTrans and Codiscrete.natIso promote I-indexed families of morphisms, or I-indexed families of isomorphisms to natural transformations or natural isomorphism.

We define functorToCat : Type u ⥤ Cat.{0,u} which sends a type to the codiscrete category and show it is right adjoint to Cat.objects.

structure CategoryTheory.Codiscrete (α : Type u) :

A wrapper for promoting any type to a category, with a unique morphisms between any two objects of the category.

  • as : α

    A wrapper for promoting any type to a category, with a unique morphisms between any two objects of the category.

                    The functor that turns a type into a codiscrete category is right adjoint to the objects functor.
