Injective functions

This is the [Base.Overture.Injective][] module of the agda-algebras library.

We say that a function f : A → B is injective (or monic) if it does not map two distinct elements of the domain to the same point in the codomain. The following type manifests this property.

module Base.Overture.Injective where

private variable α β γ ℓ₁ ℓ₂ ℓ₃ : Level


id-is-injective : {A : Type α}  A  A
id-is-injective {A = A} = id-↣ A

module _ {A : Type α}{B : Type β} where

 IsInjective : (A  B)  Type (α  β)
 IsInjective f = Injective _≡_ _≡_ f

Next, we prove that the composition of injective functions is injective.


∘-injective : {A : Type α}{B : Type β}{C : Type γ}{f : A  B}{g : B  C}
