Equivalence of categories #

An equivalence of categories C and D is a pair of functors F : C ⥤ D and G : D ⥤ C such that η : 𝟭 C ≅ F ⋙ G and ε : G ⋙ F ≅ 𝟭 D. In many situations, equivalences are a better notion of "sameness" of categories than the stricter isomorphism of categories.

Recall that one way to express that two functors F : C ⥤ D and G : D ⥤ C are adjoint is using two natural transformations η : 𝟭 C ⟶ F ⋙ G and ε : G ⋙ F ⟶ 𝟭 D, called the unit and the counit, such that the compositions F ⟶ FGF ⟶ F and G ⟶ GFG ⟶ G are the identity. Unfortunately, it is not the case that the natural isomorphisms η and ε in the definition of an equivalence automatically give an adjunction. However, it is true that

For this reason, in mathlib we define an equivalence to be a "half-adjoint equivalence", which is a tuple (F, G, η, ε) as in the first paragraph such that the composite F ⟶ FGF ⟶ F is the identity. By the remark above, this already implies that the tuple is an "adjoint equivalence", i.e., that the composite G ⟶ GFG ⟶ G is also the identity.

We also define essentially surjective functors and show that a functor is an equivalence if and only if it is full, faithful and essentially surjective.

We write C ≌ D (\backcong, not to be confused with /\cong) for a bundled equivalence.

We define an equivalence as a (half)-adjoint equivalence, a pair of functors with a unit and counit which are natural isomorphisms and the triangle law Fη ≫ εF = 1, or in other words the composite F ⟶ FGF ⟶ F is the identity.

In unit_inverse_comp, we show that this is actually an adjoint equivalence, i.e., that the composite G ⟶ GFG ⟶ G is also the identity.

The triangle equation is written as a family of equalities between morphisms, it is more complicated if we write it as an equality of natural transformations, because then we would have to insert natural transformations like F ⟶ F1.
