Braided and symmetric monoidal categories #
The basic definitions of braided monoidal categories, and symmetric monoidal categories, as well as braided functors.
Implementation note #
We make BraidedCategory
another typeclass, but then have SymmetricCategory
extend this.
The rationale is that we are not carrying any additional data, just requiring a property.
Future work #
- Construct the Drinfeld center of a monoidal category as a braided monoidal category.
- Say something about pseudo-natural transformations.

A braided monoidal category is a monoidal category equipped with a braiding isomorphism
β_ X Y : X ⊗ Y ≅ Y ⊗ X
which is natural in both arguments,
and also satisfies the two hexagon identities.

We now establish how the braiding interacts with the unitors.
I couldn't find a detailed proof in print, but this is discussed in:
- Proposition 1 of André Joyal and Ross Street, "Braided monoidal categories", Macquarie Math Reports 860081 (1986).
- Proposition 2.1 of André Joyal and Ross Street, "Braided tensor categories" , Adv. Math. 102 (1993), 20–78.
- Exercise 8.1.6 of Etingof, Gelaki, Nikshych, Ostrik, "Tensor categories", vol 25, Mathematical Surveys and Monographs (2015), AMS.
A symmetric monoidal category is a braided monoidal category for which the braiding is symmetric.
