Skeleton of a category #
Define skeletal categories as categories in which any two isomorphic objects are equal.
Construct the skeleton of an arbitrary category by taking isomorphism classes, and show it is a skeleton of the original category.
In addition, construct the skeleton of a thin category as a partial ordering, and (noncomputably) show it is a skeleton of the original category. The advantage of this special case being handled separately is that lemmas and definitions about orderings can be used directly, for example for the subobject lattice. In addition, some of the commutative diagrams about the functors commute definitionally on the nose which is convenient in practice.
A category is skeletal if isomorphic objects are equal.
Equations
- CategoryTheory.Skeletal C = ∀ ⦃X Y : C⦄, CategoryTheory.IsIsomorphic X Y → X = Y
Instances For
IsSkeletonOf C D F
says that F : D ⥤ C
exhibits D
as a skeletal full subcategory of C
,
in particular F
is a (strong) equivalence and D
is skeletal.
- skel : CategoryTheory.Skeletal D
The category
D
has isomorphic objects equal - eqv : F.IsEquivalence
The functor
F
is an equivalence
Instances For
If C
is thin and skeletal, then any naturally isomorphic functors to C
are equal.
If C
is thin and skeletal, D ⥤ C
is skeletal.
CategoryTheory.functor_thin
shows it is thin also.
Construct the skeleton category as the induced category on the isomorphism classes, and derive its category structure.

Instances For
Construct the skeleton category by taking the quotient of objects. This construction gives a
preorder with nice definitional properties, but is only really appropriate for thin categories.
If your original category is not thin, you probably want to be using skeleton
instead of this.

is thin, even though
some of the statements can be shown without this assumption.
