Kernel pairs

This file defines what it means for a parallel pair of morphisms a b : R ⟶ X to be the kernel pair for a morphism f. Some properties of kernel pairs are given, namely allowing one to transfer between the kernel pair of f₁ ≫ f₂ to the kernel pair of f₁. It is also proved that if f is a coequalizer of some pair, and a,b is a kernel pair for f then it is a coequalizer of a,b.

Implementation

The definition is essentially just a wrapper for IsLimit (PullbackCone.mk _ _ _), but the constructions given here are useful, yet awkward to present in that language, so a basic API is developed here.

TODO

• Internal equivalence relations (or congruences) and the fact that every kernel pair induces one, and the converse in an effective regular category (WIP by b-mehta).

abbrev CategoryTheory.IsKernelPair {C : Type u} [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, u} C] {R X Y : C} (f : X ⟶ Y) (a b : R ⟶ X) : Prop

IsKernelPair f a b expresses that (a, b) is a kernel pair for f, i.e. a ≫ f = b ≫ f and the square R → X ↓ ↓ X → Y is a pullback square. This is just an abbreviation for IsPullback a b f f.

Equations

• CategoryTheory.IsKernelPair f a b = CategoryTheory.IsPullback a b f f

If f is a monomorphism, then (𝟙 _, 𝟙 _) is a kernel pair for f.
