Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Opposites

Opposite categories #

We provide a category instance on Cᵒᵖ. The morphisms X ⟶ Y are defined to be the morphisms unop Y ⟶ unop X in C.

Here Cᵒᵖ is an irreducible typeclass synonym for C (it is the same one used in the algebra library).

We also provide various mechanisms for constructing opposite morphisms, functors, and natural transformations.

Unfortunately, because we do not have a definitional equality op (op X) = X, there are quite a few variations that are needed in practice.
