Opposites

In this file we define a structure Opposite α containing a single field of type α and two bijections op : α → αᵒᵖ and unop : αᵒᵖ → α. If α is a category, then αᵒᵖ is the opposite category, with all arrows reversed.

structure Opposite (α : Sort u) : Sort (max 1 u)

• unop : α

  The canonical map αᵒᵖ → α.

The type of objects of the opposite of α; used to define the opposite category.

Now that Lean 4 supports definitional eta equality for records, both unop (op X) = X and op (unop X) = X are definitional equalities.

def «term_ᵒᵖ» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

The type of objects of the opposite of α; used to define the opposite category.

Now that Lean 4 supports definitional eta equality for records, both unop (op X) = X and op (unop X) = X are definitional equalities.

def Opposite.op {α : Sort u} (x : α) : αᵒᵖ

The canonical map α → αᵒᵖ.

def Opposite.rec' {α : Sort u} {F : αᵒᵖ → Sort v} (h : (X : α) → F (Opposite.op X)) (X : αᵒᵖ) : F X

A recursor for Opposite. The @[eliminator] attribute makes it the default induction principle for Opposite so you don't need to use induction x using Opposite.rec'.
