Monoidal structure on the augmented simplex category #
This file defines a monoidal structure on AugmentedSimplexCategory.
The tensor product of objects is characterized by the fact that the initial object star is
also the unit, and the fact that ⦋m⦌ ⊗ ⦋n⦌ = ⦋m + n + 1⦌ for n m : ℕ.
Through the (not in mathlib) equivalence between AugmentedSimplexCategory and the category
of finite ordinals, the tensor products corresponds to ordinal sum.
As the unit of this structure is an initial object, for every x y : AugmentedSimplexCategory,
there are maps AugmentedSimplexCategory.inl x y : x ⟶ x ⊗ y and
AugmentedSimplexCategory.inr x y : y ⟶ x ⊗ y. The main API for working with the tensor product
of maps is given by AugmentedSimplexCategory.tensorObj_hom_ext, which characterizes maps
x ⊗ y ⟶ z in terms of their composition with these two maps. We also characterize the behaviour
of the associator isomorphism with respect to these maps.
