Covariants and contravariants

This file contains general lemmas and instances to work with the interactions between a relation and an action on a Type.

The intended application is the splitting of the ordering from the algebraic assumptions on the operations in the Ordered[...] hierarchy.

The strategy is to introduce two more flexible typeclasses, CovariantClass and ContravariantClass:

• CovariantClass models the implication a ≤ b → c * a ≤ c * b (multiplication is monotone),
• ContravariantClass models the implication a * b < a * c → b < c.

Since Co(ntra)variantClass takes as input the operation (typically (+) or (*)) and the order relation (typically (≤) or (<)), these are the only two typeclasses that I have used.

The general approach is to formulate the lemma that you are interested in and prove it, with the Ordered[...] typeclass of your liking. After that, you convert the single typeclass, say [OrderedCancelMonoid M], into three typeclasses, e.g. [LeftCancelSemigroup M] [PartialOrder M] [CovariantClass M M (Function.swap (*)) (≤)] and have a go at seeing if the proof still works!

Note that it is possible to combine several Co(ntra)variantClass assumptions together. Indeed, the usual ordered typeclasses arise from assuming the pair [CovariantClass M M (*) (≤)] [ContravariantClass M M (*) (<)] on top of order/algebraic assumptions.

A formal remark is that normally CovariantClass uses the (≤)-relation, while ContravariantClass uses the (<)-relation. This need not be the case in general, but seems to be the most common usage. In the opposite direction, the implication

[Semigroup α] [PartialOrder α] [ContravariantClass α α (*) (≤)] ↦ LeftCancelSemigroup α

holds -- note the Co*ntra* assumption on the (≤)-relation.

Formalization notes

We stick to the convention of using Function.swap (*) (or Function.swap (+)), for the typeclass assumptions, since Function.swap is slightly better behaved than flip. However, sometimes as a non-typeclass assumption, we prefer flip (*) (or flip (+)), as it is easier to use.

def Covariant (M : Type u_1) (N : Type u_2) (μ : M → N → N) (r : N → N → Prop) : Prop

Covariant is useful to formulate succintly statements about the interactions between an action of a Type on another one and a relation on the acted-upon Type.

See the CovariantClass doc-string for its meaning.

def Contravariant (M : Type u_1) (N : Type u_2) (μ : M → N → N) (r : N → N → Prop) : Prop

Contravariant is useful to formulate succintly statements about the interactions between an action of a Type on another one and a relation on the acted-upon Type.

See the ContravariantClass doc-string for its meaning.

class CovariantClass (M : Type u_1) (N : Type u_2) (μ : M → N → N) (r : N → N → Prop) : Prop

• elim : Covariant M N μ r

  For all m ∈ M and all elements n₁, n₂ ∈ N, if the relation r holds for the pair (n₁, n₂), then, the relation r also holds for the pair (μ m n₁, μ m n₂)

Given an action μ of a Type M on a Type N and a relation r on N, informally, the CovariantClass says that "the action μ preserves the relation r."

More precisely, the CovariantClass is a class taking two Types M N, together with an "action" μ : M → N → N and a relation r : N → N → Prop. Its unique field elim is the assertion that for all m ∈ M and all elements n₁, n₂ ∈ N, if the relation r holds for the pair (n₁, n₂), then, the relation r also holds for the pair (μ m n₁, μ m n₂), obtained from (n₁, n₂) by acting upon it by m.

If m : M and h : r n₁ n₂, then CovariantClass.elim m h : r (μ m n₁) (μ m n₂).

class ContravariantClass (M : Type u_1) (N : Type u_2) (μ : M → N → N) (r : N → N → Prop) : Prop

• elim : Contravariant M N μ r

  For all m ∈ M and all elements n₁, n₂ ∈ N, if the relation r holds for the pair (μ m n₁, μ m n₂) obtained from (n₁, n₂) by acting upon it by m, then, the relation r also holds for the pair (n₁, n₂).

Given an action μ of a Type M on a Type N and a relation r on N, informally, the ContravariantClass says that "if the result of the action μ on a pair satisfies the relation r, then the initial pair satisfied the relation r."

More precisely, the ContravariantClass is a class taking two Types M N, together with an "action" μ : M → N → N and a relation r : N → N → Prop. Its unique field elim is the assertion that for all m ∈ M and all elements n₁, n₂ ∈ N, if the relation r holds for the pair (μ m n₁, μ m n₂) obtained from (n₁, n₂) by acting upon it by m, then, the relation r also holds for the pair (n₁, n₂).

If m : M and h : r (μ m n₁) (μ m n₂), then ContravariantClass.elim m h : r n₁ n₂.
