In mathematics the Karoubi envelope (or Cauchy completion or idempotent completion) of a category C is a classification of the idempotents of C, by means of an auxiliary category. Taking the Karoubi envelope of a preadditive category gives a pseudo-abelian category, hence the construction is sometimes called the pseudo-abelian completion. It is named for the French mathematician Max Karoubi. Given a category C, an idempotent of C is an endomorphism : with :. An idempotent ''e'': ''A'' → ''A'' is said to split if there is an object ''B'' and morphisms ''f'': ''A'' → ''B'', ''g'' : ''B'' → ''A'' such that ''e'' = ''g'' ''f'' and 1''B'' = ''f'' ''g''. The Karoubi envelope of C, sometimes written Split(C), is the category whose objects are pairs of the form (''A'', ''e'') where ''A'' is an object of C and is an idempotent of C, and whose morphisms are the triples : where is a morphism of C satisfying (or equivalently ). Composition in Split(C) is as in C, but the identity morphism on in Split(C) is , rather than the identity on . The category C embeds fully and faithfully in Split(C). In Split(C) every idempotent splits, and Split(C) is the universal category with this property. The Karoubi envelope of a category C can therefore be considered as the "completion" of C which splits idempotents. The Karoubi envelope of a category C can equivalently be defined as the full subcategory of (the presheaves over C) of retracts of representable functors. The category of presheaves on C is equivalent to the category of presheaves on Split(C). == Automorphisms in the Karoubi envelope == An automorphism in Split(C) is of the form , with inverse satisfying: : : : If the first equation is relaxed to just have , then ''f'' is a partial automorphism (with inverse ''g''). A (partial) involution in Split(C) is a self-inverse (partial) automorphism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karoubi envelope」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
