Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Category.Cat

Category of categories #

This file contains the definition of the category Cat of all categories. In this category objects are categories and morphisms are functors between these categories.

Implementation notes #

Though Cat is not a concrete category, we use bundled to define its carrier type.

Equations

Construct a bundled Cat from the underlying type and the typeclass.

Equations

Bicategory structure on Cat

theorem CategoryTheory.Cat.coe_of (C : Cat) :

Functor that gets the set of objects of a category. It is not called forget, because it is not a faithful functor.

def CategoryTheory.Cat.equivOfIso {C D : Cat} (γ : C D) :
C D

Any isomorphism in Cat induces an equivalence of the underlying categories.

Equations

Embedding Type into Cat as discrete categories.

This ought to be modelled as a 2-functor!
