This paper is to be considered as a survey article
presenting
anoriginal
and unified treatment of variousresults,
scattered in the litte- rature. The reason for such a work is thegrewing importance
of every-thing
concerned with thesplitting
ofidempotents
and the lack of areference text on the
subject.
Most of the work devoted toCauchy completion
has beendevelopped
in thesophisticated
context ofbicateg-
ories : it’s our decision to focuse on direct
proofs
in the context ofclassical
category theory.
An
idempotent endomorphism
esplits
when it can be written as e = i o r with r o i anidentity. Every
smallcategory
C has acompletion
for the
splitting
ofidempotents (called
itsCauchy completion) given by
the retracts of itsrepresentable
functors or,equivalently, by
itsabsolutely presentable presheaves
or evenby
the distributors 1 C which possess aright adjoint.
TheCauchy completeness
of acategory
C is also
equivalent
to itscompleteness
for the absolute colimits or to the existence of aright adjoint
for every distributor 0 -ö-+ C ...but this last
equivalence
is itselfequivalent
to the axiom of choice.The classical
adjoint
functor Theorem involves theassumptions
of
completeness
of the domaincategory
andcontinuity
of the functor.In fact
completeness
can bereplaced by
the much weakerassumption
of
Cauchy completeness and, clearly,
thecontinuity
means now theabsolute flatness of the functor. We prove the
adjoint
functor Theorem under those very weakassumptions and,
of course, the solution set condition.We mention how the definition of
Cauchy completion
in termsof distributors can be
easily generalized
to the context ofcategory theory
based on a closedcategory.
In the case of aring
viewed as acategory
enriched over itscategory
ofmodules,
theCauchy completion
is the
important category
offinitely generated projective
modules.In the case of a metric space viewed as a
category
enriched overR+,
the
Cauchy completion
isjust
the classicalcompletion
as a metricspace,
using Cauchy
sequences. Thisexplains

intro-duced
by
F.W. Lawvere(cf. [9]).
1. SPLITTING OF IDEMPOTENTS.
We fix a
category
C. Amorphism
e: C -+ C isidempotent
whene = e o e. Given a retraction
it follows
immediately
that e = i o r isidempotent.
Asplit idempotent
e is one which can be
presented
as e = i o r for some retraction r o i = id.Proposition
1. Thefollowing
conditions areequivalent
for anidempotent
e : C-+C:
(1)
esplits
as e - i o r ;(2)
theequalizer
i =ker(e, id ) exist (3)
thecoequalizer
r =coker(e, id )
exists.Moreover,
theequalizer
in(2)
and thecoequalizer
in(3)
are absolute.The
equivalences
are obvious. We recall that a limit or a colimit is called absolute when it ispreserved by
every functor.Clearly
theproperty
ofbeing
a retraction is absolute. v Given a smallcategory C,
we use the classical notation C for thecategory
Funct(C°p, Sets)
ofpresheaves
on C. Weidentify C,
viathe Yoneda
embedding
Y : C -+C, with
the fullsubcategory
of repre- sentable functors. We denoteby
C the fullsubcategory of C spanned by
all the retracts of therepresentable
functors.Theorem 1. Let C be a small
category
and C the fullsubcategory
ofC spanned by
the retracts of therepresentable
functors.(1)
C contains C as afull_ subcategoru ; (2)
everyidempotent of _C splits ;
(3)
the inclusion C c-> C is anequivalence
if andonly
if everyidempotent
of Csplits ;
(4)
thecategory
C ofpresheaves
on C isequivalent
to thecateg-
ory C of
presheaves
on C.This small
category
C will be called theCauchy completion
of C .C is small
since 6
iswell-powered.
C contains C as a full subcat- eogry because the Yonedaembedding
is full and faithful.Every
idem-potent
of Csplits in C (Proposition 1),
thus also in C since thecomposite
of two retractions is
again
a retraction.If every
idempotent
of Csplits,
every retract of arepresentable
functor
C(-, C)
induces anidempotent
onC(-, C),
thus anidempotent
e on C. e
splits
inC,
whichproduces
a retraction of C and thus a re-traction of
C(-, C),
which isnecessarily isomorphic
to theoriginal
re-traction
(Proposition 1).
Thus every retraction ofC(-, C)
is itself re-presentable,
which proves(3).
To prove
(4),
it suffices to show that everypresheaf
F on C canbe
uniquely (up
to anisomorphism)
extended in apresheaf
F on C.From th e
uniqueness
of thesplitting
in C of anidempotent
e E Cand the
Cauchy completeness
of thecategory
of sets(Proposition 1),
F has to map the
splitting
of e on thesplitting
of F e. Now ifare
retractions,
everymorphism
f : R -+ S can be written asand
F(s), F(i )
arealready defined,
whileF( j o fo r )
has to beequal
to F( j o f o r).
0The
Cauchy completion
C of C has also aninteresting description
in terms of colimits. We recall that an
object F e C
isabsolutely
pre- sentable when therepresentable
functorC(F, -) :
C -+ Sets preserves all small colimits.Extending
theterminology
of[5],
this isjust
the no-tion of an
a-presentable object,
where 0.= 2 is theonly
finiteregular
cardinal.
Proposition
2. Given_ a smallcategory C,
apresheaf
F E C lies in theCauchy completion
C iff it isabsolutely presentable.
A
representable
functor isabsolutely presentable
sinceC(C(-,.C)l -)
is
just
the evaluation at C. Now if R is a retract ofC(-, C), C(R, -)
is obtained from
C(C(-, C), -) by
acoequalizer diagram; by associativity
of
colimits,
R isabsolutely presentable.
Conversely
choose F E Cabsolutely presentable.
F can bepresented
as the colimit F =
lim C(-, C)
indexedby
all thepairs (y, C) ,
withy :
C(-, C)
=> F. As a consequenceNow
id F corresponds
to some element in the last colimit and this ele-136
ment is
represented by
some[3:
F =.C(-, C)
in the term of index(y, C) ;
in other
words,
cx oP
=id F
and F is a retract ofC(-, C).
0A colimit is called absolute when it is
preserved by
every functor.Given a small
category C,
thetopos
C ofpresheaves
iscocomplete thus,
inparticular,
has all absolute small colimits. We shall say that C has all absolute small colimits when it is stable in C under all abso- lute small colimits. TheCauchy completion
can also be seen as thecompletion
for absolute smallcolimits,
as noticedby
R. Street(cf. [ 11 J).
Proposition
3. Thefollowing
conditions areequivalent
on a small cat-egory C :
(1)
C isCauchy complete.
(2)
C has all absolute small colimits.Suppose
C isCauchy complete
and consider an absolute colimit L =lim C(-, Ci )
inC.
Since the colimit is absoluteSo to
idL corresponds
theequivalence
class ofsome S :
L+C(-, Ci)
and if
Si : C(-, Ci) -+
L is the canonicalmorphism
of thecolimit, si o B
=id L.
. Thus L is a retract ofC(-, Ci)
and lies therefore in C.The converse is immediate since
Cauchy completeness
reduces tothe existence of some absolute
coequalizers (Proposition 1).
02. CAUCHY COMPLETION IN TERMS OF DISTRIBUTORS.
A distributor
(also
calledprofunctor, bimodule, module, ...)
from asmall
category
A to a smallcategory
B is a functor F : B opx A -+Sets;
we shall use the notation F : A--n- B. If G : B-u+ C is another
distributor,
the
composite
G o F : Ar- C is definedby
a colimitindexed
by
all themorphisms
b : B -+ B’ inB,
in fact(x, F(b, A)(y))
isidentified to
(G(C,b)(x), y)
in the colimit.Morphisms
between distribu- tors arejust
naturaltransformations ; they
areeasily equipped
witha vertical and an horizontal
composition
and thisyields
acorresponding
notion of
adjoint
distributors.Every
functor F : A -+ B induces a dis- tributor F* : A o+ Bgiven by
F* has a
right adjoint F * :
B -+ A which isjust
137
(cf. [1, 5J).
We shall denote
by
1 thecategory
with onesingle object
and onesingle morphism (=
theidentity
on theobject).
Thetopos C
ofpresheaves
on a small
category
C can be viewed as thecategory Dist(l, C)
ofdistributors from 1 to C. On the other hand the
category
C itself canbe identified with the
category Funct(l, C)
of functors from 1 to C.The Yoneda
embedding
is thenjust
the inclusionand the
Cauchy completion
C appears as asubcategory
ofDist(l, C).
Proposition
4. Given a smallcategory C,
a distributor F : 1-o+Cbelongs
to theCauchy completion
of C iff it has aright adjoint.
Fix a
pair
F : 1 -o>C,
G : C-+- 1 ofadjoint distributors,
withF
2013|
G. We have thus :The two
composites
arejust
the functor F o G :
COP
x C -+ Sets :(B, A) |->
FB xGA,
where f : A -+ B is an
arbitrary morphism
of C. The two natural trans-formations of the
adjunction
arean element
a natural transformation where C is now a fixed
object
in C.The two axioms for the
adjointness
reduce to :If such an
adjoint pair
isgiven,
weproduce immediately
two nat-ural transformations
and the second axiom for
adjoin’ !less
isprecisely
therelation 6
oy =idF’
Thus F is a retract of
C(-, c).
Conversely
if F is a retract ofC(-, c),
with 6 o y =idF
asabove,
the
idempotent
transformation yo 6
onC(-, c)
has the formC(-, e)
with e on
idempotent morphism
on C. Thesplitting
of theidempotent
transformation
C(e, -)
onC(C, -)
inFunct(C, Sets) produces
a retractIt is now sufficient to consider
in order to prove the
required adjunction.
0The
great
interest ofCauchy completion
in thetheory
of distri-butors is described in our next theorem.
Theorem 2. The
following
conditions areequivalent
on a smallcategory C.
(1)
C isCauchy complete.
(2)
A distributor 1 -o> C has aright adjoint
iff it is a functor.(3)
For every smallcategory
A a distributor A -o> C has aright adjoint
iff it is a functor.(1)
=>(2)
is a consequence of Theorem 2 and(3)
=>(2)
is obvious.Let us prove
(2)
=>(3).
Consider two distributorsF,
G with F-|
Gand an
object
A E A.We obtain the
adjunction
which proves the existence of some
object H(A)
e C such that(Assumption 2).
Now onecomputes easily
theidentity
which
implies finally
The
proof
extends to themorphisms
of A and therefore F is the distri-butor associated to the functor H. 0
The
proof
of(2)
=>(3)
in theprevious
theorem uses some choiceprinciple
to defineH(A).
In fact the fullstrength
of the axiom of choice is necessary. This isproved by
thefollowing elegant remark,
due toA. Carboni and R. Street
(cf. [3J).
Aposet,
viewed as smallcategory,
is
obviously Cauchy complete
since theonly idempotent morphisms
arethe identities. If Condition 3 in the
previous
theorem is now taken as a definition for theCauchy completeness,
it turns out that theCauchy completeness
ofposets
isequivalent
to the axiom of choice.Proposition
5. Thefollowing
conditions areequivalent : (1)
The axiom of choice.(2) Every
distributor F : A -o> C betweenposets A,
C is a func-tor when it has a
right adjoint.
By
Theorem2,
it suffices to prove(2)
==>(1).
Consider asurjection
g :
X -|->
Y in Sets and R >-> XxX theequivalence
relation definedby f .
We define
where
Ay
denotes thediagonal
ofY ;
A and C areposets.
We define also two distributorsThe two
possible composites
aregiven by
It follows
immediately
that140
or in other
words,
G isright adjoint
to F.By assumption 2,
F isrepresent-
ed
by
a functor f : C ->A,
whichprovides
a section f:Y -|->
X to g,since G o
F = id A .
03. THE MORE GENERAL ADJOINT FUNCTOR THEOREM.
This "more
general Adjoint
Functor Theorem" is anunpublished
result of P.
Freyd;
it refers toCauchy completeness
instead of usualcompleteness (cf [8]).
When a is a
regular cardinal,
an a-limit is the limit of adiagram
of
cardinality strictly
less than a. When A is acategory
witha-limits,
the
a-continuity
of a functor F : A -> B meansjust
thepreservation
ofa-limits;
this fact isequivalent
to any one of thefollowing
conditions :(1)
For every B EB,
the functorB(B, F-) :
A -> Sets is an a-filtered colimit ofrepresentable
functors.(2)
For every B EB,
the commacategory (B, F)
isa-cofiltered,
where B stands for the functor 1 -> B
choosing
theobject
B E B.When A is not
necessarily a-complete,
the a-continuity
of a functorF : A -> B is
clearly
anuninteresting
notion. But conditions(1)
and(2)
are still
equivalent
in that case and describe what is called the " a-flat- ness" of F. Flatness is the correctgeneralization
of the notion ofcontinuity
in a context where limits do notnecessarily
exist(cf. [5], a-Stetigheit).
The functor F : A +B will be calledabsolutely
flat whenit is a -flat for every
regular
cardinal a. When A iscomplete,
theabsolute flatness of F is thus
equivalent
to thepreservation
of smalllimits.
Theorem 3. Consider an
absolutely
flat functor F : A -> B defined on aCauchy complete category
A. F has a leftadjoint
iff the solution set conddtion holds.Fix an
object
B E B and letSB
C| A |
be a solution set for B.The
Cauchy completeness
of Aimplies immediately
that of the commacategory (B, F).
Consider in
(B, F)
thefollowing
set ofobjects :
and
choose, by
absolute flatness ofF,
anobject
Z E(B, F)|
and forevery
X E SB ,
amorphism
oc x: Z -+ X in(B, F). Again by
absolute flat-ness of
F-,
choose anobject
YE ) (B, F)|
and amorphism
u : Y + Z in(B, F)
which identifies all theendomorphisms
of Z. The solution set conditionimplies
the existence of X ESB
and v : X - Y. The endomor-phism
UoVoO x of Z isidempotent
since u identifiesidz
and u o v o ax .By Cauchy completeness
of(B, F),
u o v o ctxsplits
andproduces
aretract
of Z. But then W is a
pair (A, b)
with b : B -+ FA and we shall prove it is the universal reflection of Balong F,
i.e. the initialobject
of(B, F).
By
the solution setcondition,
for everyobject
V E(By F)!
thereexists an
object
U ESB
and amorphism w :
U -+ V. So we obtaina
composite
which proves the existence of at least one
morphism
from W to V.Next,
let us prove that everyendomorphism
g of W isnecessarily
the
identity.
Indeedand thus g =
id W
since i is mono and r isepi.
Finally
come back to anarbitrary object
V El(B, F)| and, by
ab-solute flatness of
F,
choose T EI (B, F) I
and t : T - W which identifies all themorphisms
from W to V.By
the solution setcondition,
chooseS e SB
and s: S - T. Thecomposite
is
necessarily
theidentity
and soby
definition oft ,
all themorphisms
from W to V are
equal.
04. THE CAUCHY COMPLETION OF AN ENRICHED CATEGORY.
Let us fix a
complete
andcocomplete symmetric
monoidalclosed
category
V. If I is the unit ofV,
we denoteby
I theV-category
with a
single object *
andI(*, A)
= I.Every
smallV-category
C isequivalent
to thecategory V-Funct(I, C)
of V-functors from I toC ;
that last
category
is itself embedded in thecategory V-Dist(I, C)
ofV-distributors from I to C
(cf. [11).
Definition 1. The
V -Cauchy completion
of a smallV -category
Cis the full
V -subcategory
ofV-Dist(I, C) ,
whoseobjects
are thoseV -distributors with a
right
V-adjoint.
It is
possible
togeneralize
withrespect
to V most of the results142
of our
§§ 1-2-3,
but this is not our purpose here. Wejust
want todevelop
some relevantexamples
of enrichedCauchy completions.
Weshall start with an
example
which underlines astriking
difference bet-ween the classical case and the enriched case. But first of
all,
ageneral
remark.A V-distributor F : I-r- I is a V-functor F :
lOP 1m
I -+V,
i.e.just
anobject
F E V. If G : I -o-> I is another V-distributor the com-posite Go
F isjust
theobject
G 9 F E V. Theadjunction F -I
G reducesto the existence of
morphisms
which
satisfy
theequalities
Example
1. When V is thecategory
ofV-complete lattices,
theCauchy completion
of I is nolonger
small.The
objects
of V are thus thecomplete
lattices and themorphisms
are the
V-preserving mappings;
the unit I E V isjust {0, 1} .
V isa
complete
andcocomplete symmetric
monoidal closedcategory
in which theproduct
IIAi
of anarbitrary family
ofobjects Ai
coincideswith its
coproduct iI Ai ;
we use therefore the classical notation OAi (cf. [71).
Given an
arbitrary
setK,
theobject
F =k®K
E K I can be viewed as a distributor F : I -J- Iadjoint
to itself. Indeed the tensorproduct
commutes with the direct
product
e since if has aright adjoint;
therefore :
and the
required
canonicalmorphisms
aand a
arejust
thediagonal
andthe
codiagonal.
So eachobject k E K
I is in theCauchy completion I
of
I,
which prove that I is not small. 0Example
2. When V is thecategory
of modules on a commutativering
R with a
unit,
theCauchy completion
of I is thecategory
offinitely generated projective
R -modules.It is well-known that V =
Mod R
is an abeliancomplete
andcocomplete symmetric
monoidal closedcategory;
the unit I E V isjust
thering
R itself.Let us start with an
adjunction (F -1 G, a, S)
as describedabove;
we must prove that F is a
finitely generated projective
module.We can write
Consider the
following morphisms
u and v :The second axiom of
adjointness implies,
for every x E F :k
So F is a retract of a
finitely generated
freemodule,
thus afinitely generated projective
module.Conversely
start with afinitely generated projective
moduleF ;
F can be
presented
as a retract of afinitely generated
free module :- 7-
If
e1, ..., ek
is the canonical basis ofk
R and F is identified with a a submodule ofk m R ,
consider i=1i=1
F is the submodule of i=1
k
Rgenerated by f ,
...,fk
k and we define G as the submodule of i=1k
Rgenerated by g1, ..., 9k.
The tworequired
"natural transformations" a ,
B
are thenwhere
6 jj
is the Krnoeckersymbol.
It is now astraightforward comput-
ation to
verify
the two axioms foradjointness.
0Our last
example will,
inparticular, justify
theterminology,
dueto F.W.
Lawvere,
that we haveadopted
here.Example
3. When V is thecategory R+
definedby
F.W. Lawvere(cf.
[9])
theCauchy completion
of a metric space is its usualcompletion using Cauchy
sequences.Let us recall the
categorical
structure of144
R+
is aposet;
weview_it
as acategory, putting
amorphism
r -> swhen r > s . The
poset R+
iscomplete,
thus viewed as acategory
itis both
complete
andcocomplete.
It becomes asymmetric
monoidalclosed
category
when we defineas a matter of
convention, 00 - 00
= 0.A metric space
(E, d)
can be seen as acategory
enriched in R :E is the set of
objects
and the distance function d is the enrichedhom-
functor. If
(E, d)
and(E’, d’)
are metric spaces, an enriched functor f :(E, d) -+(E’, d’)
isjust
acontracting mapping f : E - E’;
inparticular,
f is continuous. The set of
contracting mappings
from(E, d)
to(E’,d’)
becomes itself an enriched
category
when we define the distance bet-ween f,
g:(E, d) --> (E’, d’ ) by
the formulaNotice that this new enriched
category
isgenerally
not a metric space, since( f, g)
can become infinite.The enriched
category
I isjust
thesingleton
viewed as a metricspace. A distributor f : I
-o->(E, d)
with(E, d)
a metric space, is thena
mapping
f : E-+ R+
which satisfies the condition :From the
symmetry
ofd ,
we deduceimmediately
which proves that f is
just
acontracting mapping.
Now when(E, d )
is a metric space, the
symmetry
of dimplies
that a distributor g:(E, d)
- I is alsojust
acontracting mapping
g: E - R . The distributor isright adjoint
to f whenwhich means
From the first condition we deduce that for some x E
E, f(x)
oo.But as f is
contracting,
for every y E Ewhich proves
f(y)
co. Ananalogous argument
holds for g . As a con-cl usion,
apair
of
adjoint
distributors is apair f,
g : E-->
R+ ofcontracting mappings
which
satisfy
the axioms(1)
and(2).
Denote
by (E, d
the usualcompletion
of the metric space(E, d );
we shall prove that
(E, d)
isjust
theR -category
of those enriched dis- tributors I o->(E, d)
whichpossess
aright adjoint.
Choose anelement a e E and define
It follows
immediately
