The opposite category of an enriched category #
When a monoidal category V
is braided, we may define the opposite V
-category of a
V
-category. The symmetry map is required to define the composition morphism.
This file constructs the opposite V
-category as an instance on the type Cᵒᵖ
and constructs an
equivalence between
• ForgetEnrichment V (Cᵒᵖ)
, the underlying category of the V
-category Cᵒᵖ
; and
• (ForgetEnrichment V C)ᵒᵖ
, the opposite category of the underlying category of C
.
We also show that if C
is an enriched ordinary category (i.e. a category enriched in V
equipped with an identification (X ⟶ Y) ≃ (𝟙_ V ⟶ (X ⟶[V] Y))
) then Cᵒᵖ
is again
an enriched ordinary category.
For a V
-category C
, construct the opposite V
-category structure on the type Cᵒᵖ
using the braiding in V
.

Unfold the definition of composition in the enriched opposite category.
When composing a tensor product of morphisms with the V
-composition morphism in Cᵒᵖ
,
this re-writes the V
-composition to be in C
and moves the braiding to the left.
