The simplex category

We construct a skeletal model of the simplex category, with objects ℕ and the morphisms n ⟶ m being the monotone maps from Fin (n + 1) to Fin (m + 1).

In Mathlib.AlgebraicTopology.SimplexCategory.Basic, we show that this category is equivalent to NonemptyFinLinOrd.

Remarks

The definitions SimplexCategory and SimplexCategory.Hom are marked as irreducible.

We provide the following functions to work with these objects:

1. SimplexCategory.mk creates an object of SimplexCategory out of a natural number. Use the notation ⦋n⦌ in the Simplicial locale.
2. SimplexCategory.len gives the "length" of an object of SimplexCategory, as a natural.
3. SimplexCategory.Hom.mk makes a morphism out of a monotone map between Fin's.
4. SimplexCategory.Hom.toOrderHom gives the underlying monotone map associated to a term of SimplexCategory.Hom.

Notations

• ⦋n⦌ denotes the n-dimensional simplex. This notation is available with open Simplicial.
• ⦋m⦌ₙ denotes the m-dimensional simplex in the n-truncated simplex category. The truncation proof p : m ≤ n can also be provided using the syntax ⦋m, p⦌ₙ. This notation is available with open SimplexCategory.Truncated.
