Opposites

In this file we define a structure Opposite α containing a single field of type α and two bijections op : α → αᵒᵖ and unop : αᵒᵖ → α. If α is a category, then αᵒᵖ is the opposite category, with all arrows reversed.

structure Opposite (α : Sort u) : Sort (max 1 u)

The type of objects of the opposite of α; used to define the opposite category.

Now that Lean 4 supports definitional eta equality for records, both unop (op X) = X and op (unop X) = X are definitional equalities.

• op :: (
• unop : α

  The canonical map αᵒᵖ → α.

• )

def Opposite.unexpander_op : Lean.PrettyPrinter.Unexpander

Make sure that Opposite.op a is pretty-printed as op a instead of { unop := a } or ⟨a⟩.

def «term_ᵒᵖ» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

The type of objects of the opposite of α; used to define the opposite category.

Now that Lean 4 supports definitional eta equality for records, both unop (op X) = X and op (unop X) = X are definitional equalities.

theorem Opposite.small {X : Type v} [Small.{u, v} X] : Small.{u, v} Xᵒᵖ

If X is u-small, also Xᵒᵖ is u-small. Note: This is not an instance, because it tends to mislead typeclass search.
