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.

def CategoryTheory.Skeletal (C : Type u₁) [Category.{v₁, u₁} C] : Prop

A category is skeletal if isomorphic objects are equal.

Equations

• CategoryTheory.Skeletal C = ∀ ⦃X Y : C⦄, CategoryTheory.IsIsomorphic X Y → X = Y

structure CategoryTheory.IsSkeletonOf (C : Type u₁) [Category.{v₁, u₁} C] (D : Type u₂) [Category.{v₂, u₂} D] (F : Functor D C) : Prop

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 : Skeletal D

  The category D has isomorphic objects equal

• eqv : F.IsEquivalence

  The functor F is an equivalence
