Kernels and cokernels #
In a category with zero morphisms, the kernel of a morphism f : X ⟶ Y
is
the equalizer of f
and 0 : X ⟶ Y
. (Similarly the cokernel is the coequalizer.)
The basic definitions are
-
kernel : (X ⟶ Y) → C
-
kernel.condition : kernel.ι f ≫ f = 0
and -
kernel.lift (k : W ⟶ X) (h : k ≫ f = 0) : W ⟶ kernel f
(as well as the dual versions)
Main statements #
Besides the definition and lifts, we prove
kernel.ιZeroIsIso
: a kernel map of a zero morphism is an isomorphismkernel.eq_zero_of_epi_kernel
: ifkernel.ι f
is an epimorphism, thenf = 0
kernel.ofMono
: the kernel of a monomorphism is the zero objectkernel.liftMono
: the lift of a monomorphismk : W ⟶ X
such thatk ≫ f = 0
is still a monomorphismkernel.isLimitConeZeroCone
: if our category has a zero object, then the map from the zero object is a kernel map of any monomorphismkernel.ιOfZero
:kernel.ι (0 : X ⟶ Y)
is an isomorphism
and the corresponding dual statements.
Future work #
- TODO: connect this with existing work in the group theory and ring theory libraries.
Implementation notes #
As with the other special shapes in the limits library, all the definitions here are given as
abbreviation
s of the general statements for limits, so all the simp
lemmas and theorems about
general limits can be used.
