Any GAP object satisfying IsCapCategoryMorphism
can be added to a category and then becomes a morphism in this category. Any morphism can belong to one or no category. After a GAP object is added to the category, it knows which things can be computed in its category and to which category it belongs. It knows categorical properties and attributes, and the functions for existential quantifiers can be applied to the morphism.

CAP provides two principal methods to generate random morphisms with or without fixed source and range:
By integers: The integer is simply a parameter that can be used to create a random morphism.
By lists: The list is used when creating a random morphism would need more than one parameter. Lists offer more flexibility at the expense of the genericity of the methods. This happens because lists that are valid as input in some category may be not valid for other categories. Hence, these operations are not thought to be used in generic categorical algorithms.

For any pair of morphisms \(\alpha: a \rightarrow c\), \(\beta: b \rightarrow c\), we call each morphism \(\alpha / \beta: a \rightarrow b\) such that \(\beta \circ (\alpha / \beta) \sim_{a,c} \alpha\) a lift of \(\alpha\) along \(\beta\).
For any pair of morphisms \(\alpha: a \rightarrow c\), \(\beta: a \rightarrow b\), we call each morphism \(\alpha \backslash \beta: c \rightarrow b\) such that \((\alpha \backslash \beta) \circ \alpha \sim_{a,b} \beta\) a colift of \(\beta\) along \(\alpha\).

‣ IsEqualForCacheForMorphisms ( phi, psi ) | ( operation ) |
Returns: true or false
By default, CAP uses caches to store the values of Categorical operations. To get a value out of the cache, one needs to compare the input of a basic operation with its previous input. To compare morphisms in the category, IsEqualForCacheForMorphisms is used. By default, IsEqualForCacheForMorphisms falls back to IsEqualForCache (see ToolsForHomalg), which in turn defaults to recursive comparison for lists and IsIdenticalObj
in all other cases. If you add a function via AddIsEqualForCacheForMorphisms
, that function is used instead. A function \(F: a,b \mapsto bool\) is expected there. The output has to be true or false. Fail is not allowed in this context.
‣ IsHomSetInhabited ( A, B ) | ( operation ) |
Returns: a boolean
The arguments are two objects A and B. The output is true
if there exists a morphism from A to B, otherwise the output is false
.

If \(\iota\colon D \to E\) is a full embedding of categories, every \(D\)-homomorphism structure for a category \(C\) extends to a \(E\)-homomorphism structure for \(C\). This operations accepts four functions and installs operations DistinguishedObjectOfHomomorphismStructureExtendedByFullEmbedding
, HomomorphismStructureOnObjectsExtendedByFullEmbedding
etc. which correspond to the \(E\)-homomorphism structure for \(C\). Note: To distinguish embeddings in different categories, in addition to \(C\) also \(E\) is passed to the operations. When using this with different embeddings with the range category \(E\), only the last embedding will be used. The arguments are:
object_function
gets the categories \(C\) and \(E\) and an object in \(D\).
morphism_function
gets the categories \(C\) and \(E\), an object in \(E\), a morphism in \(D\) and another object in \(E\). The objects are the results of object_function
applied to the source and range of the morphism.
object_function_inverse
gets the categories \(C\) and \(E\) and an object in \(E\).

Let \(\phi: A \rightarrow B\) be a morphism. There are several different natural ways to look at \(\phi\) as an object in an ambient category:
\(\mathrm{Hom}( A, B )\), the set of homomorphisms with the equivalence relation \(\mathtt{IsCongruentForMorphisms}\) regarded as a category,
\(\sum_{A}\mathrm{Hom}( A, B )\), the category of morphisms where the range is fixed,
\(\sum_{B}\mathrm{Hom}( A, B )\), the category of morphisms where the source is fixed,
\(\sum_{A,B}\mathrm{Hom}( A, B )\), the category of morphisms where neither source nor range is fixed,
and furthermore, if \(\phi\) happens to be an endomorphism \(A \rightarrow A\), we also have
\(\sum_{A}\mathrm{Hom}(A,A)\), the category of endomorphisms.
Let \(\mathbf{C}\) be one of the categories above in which \(\phi\) may reside as an object, and let \(i\) be a non-negative integer or \(\infty\). CAP provides commands for passing from \(\phi\) to \(\phi_i\), where \(\phi_i\) is isomorphic to \(\phi\) in \(\mathbf{C}\), but "simpler". The idea is that the greater the \(i\), the "simpler" the \(\phi_i\) (but this could mean the harder the computation), with \(\infty\) as a possible value. The case \(i = 0\) defaults to the identity operator for all simplifications. For the Add-operatations, only the cases \(i \geq 1\) have to be given as functions.
