The Factorisation Category of a Category

Factorisation f is the category containing as objects all factorisations of a morphism f.

We show that Factorisation f always has an initial and a terminal object.

TODO: Show that Factorisation f is isomorphic to a comma category in two ways.

TODO: Make MonoFactorisation f a special case of a Factorisation f.

structure CategoryTheory.Factorisation {C : Type u} [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, u} C] {X : C} {Y : C} (f : X ⟶ Y) : Type (max u v)

Factorisations of a morphism f as a structure, containing, one object, two morphisms, and the condition that their composition equals f.

• mid : C

  The midpoint of the factorisation.

• ι : X ⟶ self.mid

  The morphism into the factorisation midpoint.

• π : self.mid ⟶ Y

  The morphism out of the factorisation midpoint.

• ι_π : CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp self.ι self.π = f

  The factorisation condition.

Morphisms of Factorisation f consist of morphism between their midpoints and the obvious commutativity conditions.

• h : d.mid ⟶ e.mid

  The morphism between the midpoints of the factorizations.

• ι_h : CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp d.ι self.h = e.ι

  The left commuting triangle of the factorization morphism.

• h_π : CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp self.h e.π = d.π

  The right commuting triangle of the factorization morphism.
