Split coequalizers #

We define what it means for a triple of morphisms f g : X ⟶ Y, π : Y ⟶ Z to be a split coequalizer: there is a section s of π and a section t of g, which additionally satisfy t ≫ f = π ≫ s.

In addition, we show that every split coequalizer is a coequalizer (category_theory.is_split_coequalizer.is_coequalizer) and absolute (category_theory.is_split_coequalizer.map)

A pair f g : X ⟶ Y has a split coequalizer if there is a Z and π : Y ⟶ Z making f,g,π a split coequalizer. A pair f g : X ⟶ Y has a G-split coequalizer if G f, G g has a split coequalizer.

These definitions and constructions are useful in particular for the monadicity theorems.

Dualise to split equalizers.

structure category_theory.is_split_coequalizer {C : Type u} [category_theory.category C] {X Y : C} (f g : X Y) {Z : C} (π : Y Z) :
Type v

A split coequalizer diagram consists of morphisms

  f   π
X  Y  Z
  g

satisfying f ≫ π = g ≫ π together with morphisms

  t   s
X  Y  Z

satisfying s ≫ π = 𝟙 Z, t ≫ g = 𝟙 Y and t ≫ f = π ≫ s.

The name "coequalizer" is appropriate, since any split coequalizer is a coequalizer, see category_theory.is_split_coequalizer.is_coequalizer. Split coequalizers are also absolute, since a functor preserves all the structure above.

The cofork induced by a split coequalizer is a coequalizer, justifying the name. In some cases it is more convenient to show a given cofork is a coequalizer by showing it is split.

If f, g is split, then G f, G g is split.

If a pair has a split coequalizer, it has a coequalizer.
