Epimorphisms and Monomorphisms

Quoting Wikipedia:
In category theory, an epimorphism (also called an epic morphism or, colloquially, an epi) is a morphism f : X Y which is right-cancellative in the sense that, for all morphisms g, g' : Y Z, g f = g' f g = g'
Epimorphisms are analogues of surjective functions, but they are not exactly the same. The dual of an epimorphism is a monomorphism (i.e. an epimorphism in a category C is a monomorphism in the dual category Cᵒᵖ).

Class IsEpimorphism {C} {x y} (m : morphism C x y) :=
  is_epimorphism : z (m1 m2 : morphism C y z),
                     m1 o m = m2 o m
                      m1 = m2.
Class IsMonomorphism {C} {x y} (m : morphism C x y) :=
  is_monomorphism : z (m1 m2 : morphism C z x),
                      m o m1 = m o m2
                       m1 = m2.

We make IsEpimorphism and IsMonomorphism transparent to typeclass search so that we can infer things like IsHProp automatically.

Tactics for collapsing p p⁻¹ and p⁻¹ p

Now the tactics for collapsing p p⁻¹ (and p⁻¹ p) in the middle of a chain of compositions of isomorphisms.

Ltac iso_collapse_inverse_left' :=
  first [ apply ap
        | progress rewrite ?iso_compose_p_Vp, ?iso_compose_V_pp ].

Ltac iso_collapse_inverse_left :=
  rewrite → ?Category.Core.associativity;
  progress repeat iso_collapse_inverse_left'.

Ltac iso_collapse_inverse_right' :=
  first [ apply ap10; apply ap
        | progress rewrite ?iso_compose_pV_p, ?iso_compose_pp_V ].

Ltac iso_collapse_inverse_right :=
  rewrite <- ?Category.Core.associativity;
  progress repeat iso_collapse_inverse_right'.

Ltac iso_collapse_inverse :=
  progress repeat first [ iso_collapse_inverse_left
                        | iso_collapse_inverse_right ].

  Variable C : PreCategory.
  Variables x0 x1 x2 x3 x4 : C.

This lemma is helpful for backwards reasoning.
  Lemma compose4associativity_helper
    (a : morphism C x3 x4) (b : morphism C x2 x3)
    (c : morphism C x1 x2) (d : morphism C x0 x1)
  : a o b o c o d = (a o ((b o c) o d)).
  Proof.
    rewrite !associativity; reflexivity.
  Qed.
