Epi-mono factorization in the simplex category presented by generators and relations #

This file aims to establish that there is a nice epi-mono factorization in SimplexCategoryGenRel. More precisely, we introduce two morphism properties P_δ and P_σ that single out morphisms that are compositions of δ i (resp. σ i).

The main result of this file is exists_P_σ_P_δ_factorization, which asserts that every morphism as a decomposition of a P_σ followed by a P_δ.

δ i is a split monomorphism thanks to the simplicial identities.

          All P_σ are split epis as composition of such.

          All P_δ are split monos as composition of such.

          Any morphism in SimplexCategoryGenRel can be decomposed as a P_σ followed by a P_δ.
