The Karoubi envelope of a category #
In this file, we define the Karoubi envelope Karoubi C of a category C.
Main constructions and definitions #
Karoubi Cis the Karoubi envelope of a categoryC: it is an idempotent complete category. It is also preadditive whenCis preadditive.toKaroubi C : C ⥤ Karoubi Cis a fully faithful functor, which is an equivalence (toKaroubiIsEquivalence) whenCis idempotent complete.
In a preadditive category C, when an object X decomposes as X ≅ P ⨿ Q, one may
consider P as a direct factor of X and up to unique isomorphism, it is determined by the
obvious idempotent X ⟶ P ⟶ X which is the projection onto P with kernel Q. More generally,
one may define a formal direct factor of an object X : C : it consists of an idempotent
p : X ⟶ X which is thought as the "formal image" of p. The type Karoubi C shall be the
type of the objects of the karoubi envelope of C. It makes sense for any category C.
- X : C
an object of the underlying category
- p : self.X ⟶ self.X
an endomorphism of the object
- idem : CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp self.p self.p = self.p
the condition that the given endomorphism is an idempotent
Instances For
A morphism P ⟶ Q in the category Karoubi C is a morphism in the underlying category
C which satisfies a relation, which in the preadditive case, expresses that it induces a
map between the corresponding "formal direct factors" and that it vanishes on the complement
formal direct factor.
- f : P.X ⟶ Q.X
a morphism between the underlying objects
- comm : self.f = CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp P.p (CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp self.f Q.p)
compatibility of the given morphism with the given idempotents

It is possible to coerce an object of C into an object of Karoubi C.
See also the functor toKaroubi.
Equations
- CategoryTheory.Idempotents.Karoubi.coe = { coe := fun (X : C) => CategoryTheory.Idempotents.Karoubi.mk X (CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.id X) }
The obvious fully faithful functor toKaroubi sends an object X : C to the obvious
formal direct factor of X given by 𝟙 X.
