Reflective functors #

Basic properties of reflective functors, especially those relating to their essential image.

Note properties of reflective functors relating to limits and colimits are included in Mathlib/CategoryTheory/Monad/Limits.lean.

            A reflective functor is fully faithful.

                For a reflective functor i (with left adjoint L), with unit Ī·, we have Ī·_iL = iL Ī·.

                If A is essentially in the image of a reflective functor i, then Ī·_A is an isomorphism. This gives that the "witness" for A being in the essential image can instead be given as the reflection of A, with the isomorphism as Ī·_A.

                (For any B in the reflective subcategory, we automatically have that ε_B is an iso.)

                If Ī·_A is a split monomorphism, then A is in the reflective subcategory.

                Composition of reflective functors.

                      (A ⟶ B) ā‰ƒ (i.obj ((reflector i).obj A) ⟶ B)

                      If i has a reflector L, then the function (i.obj (L.obj A) ⟶ B) → (A ⟶ B) given by precomposing with Ī·.app A is a bijection provided B is in the essential image of i. That is, the function fun (f : i.obj (L.obj A) ⟶ B) ↦ Ī·.app A ≫ f is bijective, as long as B is in the essential image of i. This definition gives an equivalence: the key property that the inverse can be described nicely is shown in unitCompPartialBijective_symm_apply.

                      This establishes there is a natural bijection (A ⟶ B) ā‰ƒ (i.obj (L.obj A) ⟶ B). In other words, from the point of view of objects in D, A and i.obj (L.obj A) look the same: specifically that Ī·.app A is an isomorphism.

                          If i : D ℤ C is reflective, the inverse functor of i ā‰Œ F.essImage can be explicitly defined by the reflector.
