Topic: Product with terminal object isomorphism
Jack McKoen (Oct 30 2023 at 00:26):
I have a category C
with limits, which has a terminal object T
. Given an object X
, I'd like to show that
X ⨯ T ≅ X
(via the projection onto X
). Is there some API I can take advantage of here, or will I need to prove this explicitly?

The defn is tagged with simps
, and is defined in one direction as the projection and in the other in terms of lift
, so the usual approach to proving things about (co)limits in categories should work (possibly after a dsimp).

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks Adam.
