Reflective functors #
Basic properties of reflective functors, especially those relating to their essential image.
Note properties of reflective functors relating to limits and colimits are included in
Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Monad.Limits
.
A functor is reflective, or a reflective inclusion, if it is fully faithful and right adjoint.
- L : CategoryTheory.Functor C D
a choice of a left adjoint to
R
- adj : CategoryTheory.Reflective.L R ⊣ R
R
is a right adjoint
Instances
The reflector C ⥤ D
when R : D ⥤ C
is reflective.
Equations
Instances For
The adjunction reflector i ⊣ i
when i
is reflective.
Equations
- CategoryTheory.reflectorAdjunction i = CategoryTheory.Reflective.adj
Instances For
A reflective functor is fully faithful.
Equations
- i.fullyFaithfulOfReflective = (CategoryTheory.reflectorAdjunction i).fullyFaithfulROfIsIsoCounit
Instances For
For a reflective functor i
(with left adjoint L
), with unit η
, we have η_iL = iL η
.
If A
is essentially in the image of a reflective functor i
, then η_A
is an isomorphism.
This gives that the "witness" for A
being in the essential image can instead be given as the
reflection of A
, with the isomorphism as η_A
.
(For any B
in the reflective subcategory, we automatically have that ε_B
is an iso.)
If η_A
is a split monomorphism, then A
is in the reflective subcategory.

(Implementation) Auxiliary definition for unitCompPartialBijective

Equations
- CategoryTheory.unitCompPartialBijectiveAux A B = ((CategoryTheory.reflectorAdjunction i).homEquiv A B).symm.trans (CategoryTheory.Functor.FullyFaithful.ofFullyFaithful i).homEquiv
Instances For
The description of the inverse of the bijection unitCompPartialBijectiveAux
.
If i
has a reflector L
, then the function (i.obj (L.obj A) ⟶ B) → (A ⟶ B)
given by
precomposing with η.app A
is a bijection provided B
is in the essential image of i
.
That is, the function fun (f : i.obj (L.obj A) ⟶ B) ↦ η.app A ≫ f
is bijective,
as long as B
is in the essential image of i
.
This definition gives an equivalence: the key property that the inverse can be described
nicely is shown in unitCompPartialBijective_symm_apply
.
This establishes there is a natural bijection (A ⟶ B) ≃ (i.obj (L.obj A) ⟶ B)
. In other words,
from the point of view of objects in D
, A
and i.obj (L.obj A)
look the same: specifically
that η.app A
is an isomorphism.

A functor is coreflective, or a coreflective inclusion, if it is fully faithful and left adjoint.
