Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Quotient

Quotient category #

Constructs the quotient of a category by an arbitrary family of relations on its hom-sets, by introducing a type synonym for the objects, and identifying homs as necessary.

This is analogous to 'the quotient of a group by the normal closure of a subset', rather than 'the quotient of a group by a normal subgroup'. When taking the quotient by a congruence relation, functor_map_eq_iff says that no unnecessary identifications have been made.

def HomRel (C : Type u_1) [Quiver C] :
Sort (max (u_1 + 1) u_2)

A HomRel on C consists of a relation on every hom-set.

    A HomRel is a congruence when it's an equivalence on every hom-set, and it can be composed from left and right.
