category_theory.monoidal.transport

Transport a monoidal structure along an equivalence.

When C and D are equivalent as categories, we can transport a monoidal structure on C along the equivalence, obtaining a monoidal structure on D.

We don't yet prove anything about this transported structure! The next step would be to show that the original functor can be upgraded to a monoidal functor with respect to this new structure.

A type synonym for D, which will carry the transported monoidal structure.

Equations

We can upgrade e.functor to a lax monoidal functor from C to D with the transported structure.

Equations

We can upgrade e.inverse to a lax monoidal functor from D with the transported structure to C.
