Definition and basic properties of Galois categories #

We define the notion of a Galois category and a fiber functor as in SGA1, following the definitions in Lenstras notes (see below for a reference).

Main definitions #

Implementation details #

We mostly follow Def 3.1 in Lenstras notes. In axiom (G3) we omit the factorisation of morphisms in epimorphisms and monomorphisms as this is not needed for the proof of the fundamental theorem on Galois categories (and then follows from it).

References #

A category C is a PreGalois category if it satisfies all properties of a Galois category in the sense of SGA1 that do not involve a fiber functor. A Galois category should furthermore admit a fiber functor.

The only difference between [PreGaloisCategory C] (F : C ⥤ FintypeCat) [FiberFunctor F] and [GaloisCategory C] is that the former fixes one fiber functor F.

    Instances

      An object of a category C is connected if it is not initial and has no non-trivial subobjects. Lenstra, 3.12.

      Instances

        A functor is said to preserve connectedness if whenever X : C is connected, also F.obj X is connected.

        Instances

          If F is a fiber functor and E is an equivalence between categories of finite types, then F ⋙ E is again a fiber functor.

          The cardinality of the fiber is preserved under isomorphisms.

          The fiber of the equalizer of f g : X ⟶ Y is equivalent to the set of agreement of f and g.

            The fiber of the pullback is the fiber product of the fibers.

                If X : ι → C is a finite family of objects with non-empty fiber, then also ∏ᶜ X has non-empty fiber.

                Along a mono that is not an iso, the cardinality of the fiber strictly increases.

                The cardinality of the fiber of a coproduct is the sum of the cardinalities of the fibers.

                The cardinality of morphisms A ⟶ X is smaller than the cardinality of the fiber of the target if the source is connected.

                In a GaloisCategory the set of morphisms out of a connected object is finite.

                Coproduct inclusions are monic in Galois categories.
