The category of Compact Hausdorff Spaces #

We construct the category of compact Hausdorff spaces. The type of compact Hausdorff spaces is denoted CompHaus, and it is endowed with a category instance making it a full subcategory of TopCat. The fully faithful functor CompHausTopCat is denoted compHausToTop.

Note: The file Mathlib/Topology/Category/Compactum.lean provides the equivalence between Compactum, which is defined as the category of algebras for the ultrafilter monad, and CompHaus. CompactumToCompHaus is the functor from Compactum to CompHaus which is proven to be an equivalence of categories in CompactumToCompHaus.isEquivalence. See Mathlib/Topology/Category/Compactum.lean for a more detailed discussion where these definitions are introduced.

Implementation #

The category CompHaus is defined using the structure CompHausLike. See the file CompHausLike.Basic for more information.
