Basic properties of the simplex category #
In Mathlib/AlgebraicTopology/SimplexCategory/Defs.lean
, we define the simplex
category with objects ℕ
and morphisms n ⟶ m
the monotone maps from
Fin (n + 1)
to Fin (m + 1)
.
In this file, we define the generating maps for the simplex category, show that
this category is equivalent to NonemptyFinLinOrd
, and establish basic
properties of its epimorphisms and monomorphisms.
The constant morphism from ⦋0⦌.

Generating maps for the simplex category #
TODO: prove that the simplex category is equivalent to one given by the following generators and relations.
The generic case of the first simplicial identity
The special case of the first simplicial identity
The first part of the third simplicial identity
The second part of the third simplicial identity
The fifth simplicial identity
The equivalence that exhibits SimplexCategory
as skeleton
of NonemptyFinLinOrd

A morphism in SimplexCategory
is a monomorphism precisely when it is an injective function
A morphism in SimplexCategory
is an epimorphism if and only if it is a surjective function
A monomorphism in SimplexCategory
must increase lengths
An epimorphism in SimplexCategory
must decrease lengths
An isomorphism in SimplexCategory
induces an OrderIso
