Strong epimorphisms #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

In this file, we define strong epimorphisms. A strong epimorphism is an epimorphism f which has the (unique) left lifting property with respect to monomorphisms. Similarly, a strong monomorphisms in a monomorphism which has the (unique) right lifting property with respect to epimorphisms.

Main results #

Besides the definition, we show that

We also define classes strong_mono_category and strong_epi_category for categories in which every monomorphism or epimorphism is strong, and deduce that these categories are balanced.

TODO #

Show that the dual of a strong epimorphism is a strong monomorphism, and vice versa.

The composition of two strong epimorphisms is a strong epimorphism.

The composition of two strong monomorphisms is a strong monomorphism.

If f ≫ g is a strong epimorphism, then so is g.

If f ≫ g is a strong monomorphism, then so is f.
