The center of a category

Given a category C, we introduce an abbreviation CatCenter C for the center of the category C, which is End (𝟭 C), the type of endomorphisms of the identity functor of C.

abbrev CategoryTheory.CatCenter (C : Type u) [Category.{v, u} C] : Type (max u v)

The center of a category C is the type End (𝟭 C) of the endomorphisms of the identify functor of C.

Equations

• CategoryTheory.CatCenter C = CategoryTheory.End (CategoryTheory.Functor.id C)

abbrev CategoryTheory.CatCenter.app {C : Type u} [Category.{v, u} C] (x : CatCenter C) (X : C) : X ⟶ X

The action of the center of a category on an object. (This is necessary as NatTrans.app x X is syntactically an endomorphism of (𝟭 C).obj X rather than of X.)

Equations

• x.app X = x.app X
