Mathlib.Tactic.CategoryTheory.BicategoryCoherence

A coherence tactic for bicategories #

We provide a bicategory_coherence tactic, which proves that any two 2-morphisms (with the same source and target) in a bicategory which are built out of associators and unitors are equal.

This file mainly deals with the type class setup for the coherence tactic. The actual front end tactic is given in Mathlib.Tactic.CategoryTheory.Coherence at the same time as the coherence tactic for monoidal categories.

class Mathlib.Tactic.BicategoryCoherence.LiftHom {B : Type u} [CategoryTheory.Bicategory B] {a b : B} (f : a b) :
Type (max u v)

A typeclass carrying a choice of lift of a 1-morphism from B to FreeBicategory B.

  • lift : CategoryTheory.FreeBicategory.of.obj a CategoryTheory.FreeBicategory.of.obj b

    A lift of a morphism to the free bicategory. This should only exist for "structural" morphisms.
