Topic: Galois connection induced by an arbitrary relation


Anthony Bordg (Jul 19 2024 at 10:25):

Following ideas I learned from Olivia Caramello and Laurent Lafforgue, I formalised the Galois connection induced by an arbitrary relation between a pair of sets or classes , and the inverse bijections this induces between a pair of sets of associated "fixed points".
This formalisation is rather short, 107 lines including the header, but the file Mathlib/Order/GaloisConnection.leanhas already 947 lines, so I started a new file.
@maintainers Do you want me to include this in GaloisConnection.lean or keep this in a separate file in Mathlib/Order before making a PR?

Matthew Ballard (Jul 19 2024 at 10:27):

I think a separate file is appropriate

Riccardo Brasca (Jul 19 2024 at 10:32):

I agree. We can even split GaloisConnection.

Please be mindful when using the maintainer handle to summon our attention. It triggers a notification for numerous busy people. I’m not sure it was required here.
