Groupoids

We define Groupoid as a typeclass extending Category, asserting that all morphisms have inverses.

The instance IsIso.ofGroupoid (f : X ⟶ Y) : IsIso f means that you can then write inv f to access the inverse of any morphism f.

Groupoid.isoEquivHom : (X ≅ Y) ≃ (X ⟶ Y) provides the equivalence between isomorphisms and morphisms in a groupoid.

We provide a (non-instance) constructor Groupoid.ofIsIso from an existing category with IsIso f for every f.

class CategoryTheory.Groupoid (obj : Type u) extends CategoryTheory.Category : Type (max u (v + 1))

A Groupoid is a category such that all morphisms are isomorphisms.

• Hom : obj → obj → Type v
• id : (X : obj) → X ⟶ X
• comp : {X Y Z : obj} → (X ⟶ Y) → (Y ⟶ Z) → (X ⟶ Z)
• id_comp : ∀ {X Y : obj} (f : X ⟶ Y), CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp (CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.id X) f = f
• comp_id : ∀ {X Y : obj} (f : X ⟶ Y), CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp f (CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.id Y) = f
• assoc : ∀ {W X Y Z : obj} (f : W ⟶ X) (g : X ⟶ Y) (h : Y ⟶ Z), CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp (CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp f g) h = CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp f (CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp g h)
• inv : {X Y : obj} → (X ⟶ Y) → (Y ⟶ X)

  The inverse morphism

• inv_comp : ∀ {X Y : obj} (f : X ⟶ Y), CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp (CategoryTheory.Groupoid.inv f) f = CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.id Y

  inv f composed f is the identity

• comp_inv : ∀ {X Y : obj} (f : X ⟶ Y), CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp f (CategoryTheory.Groupoid.inv f) = CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.id X

  f composed with inv f is the identity
