Effective epimorphisms #
We define the notion of effective epimorphism and effective epimorphic family of morphisms.
A morphism is an effective epi if it is a joint coequalizer of all pairs of morphisms which it coequalizes.
A family of morphisms with fixed target is effective epimorphic if it is initial among families of morphisms with its sources and a general fixed target, coequalizing every pair of morphisms it coequalizes (here, the pair of morphisms coequalized can have different targets among the sources of the family).
We have defined the notion of effective epi for morphisms and families of morphisms in such a
way that avoids requiring the existence of pullbacks. However, if the relevant pullbacks exist
then these definitions are equivalent, see the file
CategoryTheory/EffectiveEpi/RegularEpi.lean
See nlab: Effective Epimorphism and
Stacks 00WP for the standard definitions. Note that
our notion of EffectiveEpi
is often called "strict epi" in the literature.

A morphism f : Y ⟶ X
is an effective epimorphism provided that f
exhibits X
as a colimit
of the diagram of all "relations" R ⇉ Y
.
If f
has a kernel pair, then this is equivalent to showing that the corresponding cofork is
a colimit.
