Mathlib.CategoryTheory.ConnectedComponents

Connected components of a category #

Defines a type ConnectedComponents J indexing the connected components of a category, and the full subcategories giving each connected component: Component j : Type u₁. We show that each Component j is in fact connected.

We show every category can be expressed as a disjoint union of its connected components, in particular Decomposed J is the category (definitionally) given by the sigma-type of the connected components of J, and it is shown that this is equivalent to J.

This type indexes the connected components of the category J.

        The disjoint union of Js connected components, written explicitly as a sigma-type with the category structure. This category is equivalent to J.

          The inclusion of each component into the decomposed category. This is just sigma.incl but having this abbreviation helps guide typeclass search to get the right category instance on decomposed J.

            The forward direction of the equivalence between the decomposed category and the original.

              This gives that any category is equivalent to a disjoint union of connected categories.
