Cartesian closed categories #

Given a category with chosen finite products, the cartesian monoidal structure is provided by the instance monoidalOfChosenFiniteProducts.

We define exponentiable objects to be closed objects with respect to this monoidal structure, i.e. (X × -) is a left adjoint.

We say a category is cartesian closed if every object is exponentiable (equivalently, that the category equipped with the cartesian monoidal structure is closed monoidal).

Show that exponential forms a difunctor and define the exponential comparison morphisms.

Implementation Details #

Cartesian closed categories require a ChosenFiniteProducts instance. If one whishes to state that a category that hasFiniteProducts is cartesian closed, they should first promote the hasFiniteProducts instance to a ChosenFiniteProducts one using CategoryTheory.ChosenFiniteProducts.ofFiniteProducts.

TODO #

Some of the results here are true more generally for closed objects and for closed monoidal categories, and these could be generalised.

An object X is exponentiable if (X × -) is a left adjoint. We define this as being Closed in the cartesian monoidal structure.

      If X and Y are exponentiable then X ⨯ Y is. This isn't an instance because it's not usually how we want to construct exponentials, we'll usually prove all objects are exponential uniformly.

        The terminal object is always exponentiable. This isn't an instance because most of the time we'll prove cartesian closed for all objects at once, rather than just for this one.

          A category C is cartesian closed if it has finite products and every object is exponentiable. We define this as monoidal_closed with respect to the cartesian monoidal structure.

                      The exponential with the terminal object is naturally isomorphic to the identity. The typeclass argument is explicit: any instance can be used.

                        The exponential of any object with the terminal object is isomorphic to itself, i.e. X^1 ≅ X. The typeclass argument is explicit: any instance can be used.

                                  If an initial object I exists in a CCC then it is a strict initial object, i.e. any morphism to I is an iso. This actually shows a slightly stronger version: any morphism to an initial object from an exponentiable object is an isomorphism.

                                  If an initial object 0 exists in a CCC then every morphism from it is monic.

                                  Note we didn't require any coherence between the choice of finite products here, since we transport along the prodComparison isomorphism.
