Promoting a monoidal category to a single object bicategory.

A monoidal category can be thought of as a bicategory with a single object.

The objects of the monoidal category become the 1-morphisms, with composition given by tensor product, and the morphisms of the monoidal category become the 2-morphisms.

We verify that the endomorphisms of that single object recovers the original monoidal category.

One could go much further: the bicategory of monoidal categories (equipped with monoidal functors and monoidal natural transformations) is equivalent to the bicategory consisting of

• single object bicategories,
• pseudofunctors, and
• (oplax) natural transformations η such that η.app PUnit.unit = 𝟙 _.

def CategoryTheory.MonoidalSingleObj (C : Type u_2) [CategoryTheory.Category.{u_3, u_2} C] [CategoryTheory.MonoidalCategory C] : Sort u_4

Promote a monoidal category to a bicategory with a single object. (The objects of the monoidal category become the 1-morphisms, with composition given by tensor product, and the morphisms of the monoidal category become the 2-morphisms.)

def CategoryTheory.MonoidalSingleObj.star (C : Type u_1) [CategoryTheory.Category.{u_2, u_1} C] [CategoryTheory.MonoidalCategory C] : CategoryTheory.MonoidalSingleObj C

The unique object in the bicategory obtained by "promoting" a monoidal category.

Equations

• CategoryTheory.MonoidalSingleObj.star C = PUnit.unit

def CategoryTheory.MonoidalSingleObj.endMonoidalStarFunctor (C : Type u_1) [CategoryTheory.Category.{u_2, u_1} C] [CategoryTheory.MonoidalCategory C] : CategoryTheory.Functor (CategoryTheory.EndMonoidal (CategoryTheory.MonoidalSingleObj.star C)) C

The monoidal functor from the endomorphisms of the single object when we promote a monoidal category to a single object bicategory, to the original monoidal category.

We subsequently show this is an equivalence.
