Objectwise congruence invariance of categorical group actions #
For a group H acting on C and a family of subgroups K : ℕ → Subgroup H,
congruenceInvariant K is the object property that some K N, with 0 < N, fixes the
object up to isomorphism. IsObjectwiseCongruenceInvariant K C requires this for every
object, allowing the bound to depend on the object.
Equivariant functors preserve this property, and fully faithful equivariant functors
reflect it. Consequently it is invariant under equivariant equivalence and restricts
to invariant full subcategories. Equivariance uses Mathlib's Functor.LeftLinear;
restriction uses the native full-subcategory action.
The fixing isomorphisms are only required to exist separately for each group element.
They carry no multiplication coherence or rational integration data. No normality or
monotonicity of K is needed for these comparisons.

Objects fixed up to isomorphism by some positive-indexed congruence subgroup. The isomorphisms need not satisfy any coherence condition.
Instances For
Every object is fixed up to isomorphism by a positive-indexed congruence subgroup; the subgroup may depend on the object.
Instances For
An equivariant functor preserves the fixing subgroup of each object.
A fully faithful equivariant functor reflects the fixing subgroup of each object.
Essential surjectivity lets an equivariant functor transfer objectwise congruence invariance to its entire target category.
Objectwise congruence invariance pulls back along a fully faithful equivariant functor.
Objectwise congruence invariance is independent of an equivariant presentation of the category. Only the forward functor of the equivalence needs a specified lineator.
For a stable full subcategory, congruence invariance of an object is equivalent to congruence invariance of its underlying ambient object, with the same fixing subgroup.
A stable full subcategory is objectwise congruence invariant exactly when all objects satisfying its defining property are congruence invariant in the ambient category.
Restricting an objectwise congruence invariant action to a stable full subcategory preserves objectwise congruence invariance.
