Mathlib.CategoryTheory.EssentialImage

Essential image of a functor #

The essential image essImage of a functor consists of the objects in the target category which are isomorphic to an object in the image of the object function. This, for instance, allows us to talk about objects belonging to a subcategory expressed as a functor rather than a subtype, preserving the principle of equivalence. For example this lets us define exponential ideals.

The essential image can also be seen as a subcategory of the target category, and witnesses that a functor decomposes into an essentially surjective functor and a fully faithful functor. (TODO: show that this decomposition forms an orthogonal factorisation system).

def CategoryTheory.Functor.essImage {C : Type u₁} {D : Type u₂} [CategoryTheory.Category.{v₁, u₁} C] [CategoryTheory.Category.{v₂, u₂} D] (F : CategoryTheory.Functor C D) :

The essential image of a functor F consists of those objects in the target category which are isomorphic to an object in the image of the function F.obj. In other words, this is the closure under isomorphism of the function F.obj. This is the "non-evil" way of describing the image of a functor.

Being in the essential image is a "hygienic" property: it is preserved under isomorphism.

Y ∈ F'.essImage

If Y is in the essential image of F then it is in the essential image of F' as long as F ≅ F'.
