The Karoubi envelope of a category #
In this file, we define the Karoubi envelope Karoubi C
of a category C
.
Main constructions and definitions #
In a preadditive category C
, when an object X
decomposes as X ≅ P ⨿ Q
, one may
consider P
as a direct factor of X
and up to unique isomorphism, it is determined by the
obvious idempotent X ⟶ P ⟶ X
which is the projection onto P
with kernel Q
. More generally,
one may define a formal direct factor of an object X : C
: it consists of an idempotent
p : X ⟶ X
which is thought as the "formal image" of p
. The type Karoubi C
shall be the
type of the objects of the karoubi envelope of C
. It makes sense for any category C
.
- X : C
an object of the underlying category
- p : self.X ⟶ self.X
an endomorphism of the object
- idem : CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp self.p self.p = self.p
the condition that the given endomorphism is an idempotent
Instances For
the condition that the given endomorphism is an idempotent
A morphism P ⟶ Q
in the category Karoubi C
is a morphism in the underlying category
C
which satisfies a relation, which in the preadditive case, expresses that it induces a
map between the corresponding "formal direct factors" and that it vanishes on the complement
formal direct factor.
- f : P.X ⟶ Q.X
a morphism between the underlying objects
- comm : self.f = CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp P.p (CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp self.f Q.p)
compatibility of the given morphism with the given idempotents
Instances For
compatibility of the given morphism with the given idempotents
Equations
- P.instInhabitedHomOfPreadditive Q = { default := { f := 0, comm := ⋯ } }
The category structure on the karoubi envelope of a category.
Equations
- CategoryTheory.Idempotents.Karoubi.instCategory = CategoryTheory.Category.mk ⋯ ⋯ ⋯
It is possible to coerce an object of C
into an object of Karoubi C
.
See also the functor toKaroubi
.
Equations
- CategoryTheory.Idempotents.Karoubi.coe = { coe := fun (X : C) => { X := X, p := CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.id X, idem := ⋯ } }
The obvious fully faithful functor toKaroubi
sends an object X : C
to the obvious
formal direct factor of X
given by 𝟙 X
.
