Idea

A map f : A → B is said to be a k-epimorphism if the precomposition function

  - ∘ f : (B → X) → (A → X)

is an embedding for every k-truncated type X.

Definitions

k-epimorphisms

  {l1 l2 : Level} (k : 𝕋) {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} →

  {l : Level} (X : Truncated-Type l k) →
  is-emb (precomp f (type-Truncated-Type X))

The codiagonal of a k-epimorphism is a k-equivalence

We consider the commutative diagram for any k-type X:

             horizontal-map-cocone
 (B → X) <---------------------------- cocone f f X
    |                  ≃                  ^
 id | ≃                                 ≃ | (universal property)
    v                                     |
 (B → X) ------------------------> (pushout f f → X)
          precomp (codiagonal f)

Since the top (in case f is epic), left and right maps are all equivalences, so is the bottom map.

  {l1 l2 : Level} (k : 𝕋) {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} (f : A → B)
  where

  is-truncation-equivalence-codiagonal-map-is-epimorphism-Truncated-Type :

      ( λ l X →
        is-equiv-right-factor
          ( ( horizontal-map-cocone f f) ∘
            ( map-equiv (equiv-up-pushout f f (type-Truncated-Type X))))
          ( precomp (codiagonal-map f) (type-Truncated-Type X))
          ( is-equiv-comp
            ( horizontal-map-cocone f f)
            ( map-equiv (equiv-up-pushout f f (type-Truncated-Type X)))
            ( is-equiv-map-equiv (equiv-up-pushout f f (type-Truncated-Type X)))

            ( λ g → eq-htpy (λ b → ap g (compute-inl-codiagonal-map f b)))
            ( is-equiv-id)))

A map is a k-epimorphism if its codiagonal is a k-equivalence

We use the same diagram as above.

    is-equiv-left-factor
      ( horizontal-map-cocone f f)
      ( ( map-equiv (equiv-up-pushout f f (type-Truncated-Type X))) ∘
        ( precomp (codiagonal-map f) (type-Truncated-Type X)))
      ( is-equiv-htpy
        ( id)
        ( λ g → eq-htpy (λ b → ap g (compute-inl-codiagonal-map f b)))
        ( is-equiv-id))
      ( is-equiv-comp
        ( map-equiv (equiv-up-pushout f f (type-Truncated-Type X)))
        ( precomp (codiagonal-map f) (type-Truncated-Type X))
        ( is-equiv-precomp-is-truncation-equivalence k (codiagonal-map f) e X)
        ( is-equiv-map-equiv (equiv-up-pushout f f (type-Truncated-Type X))))

  is-epimorphism-is-truncation-equivalence-codiagonal-map-Truncated-Type :
    is-truncation-equivalence k (codiagonal-map f) →
    is-epimorphism-Truncated-Type k f
  is-epimorphism-is-truncation-equivalence-codiagonal-map-Truncated-Type e X =
    is-epimorphism-is-equiv-horizontal-map-cocone-Truncated-Type k f
      ( is-equiv-horizontal-map-cocone-is-truncation-equivalence-codiagonal-map
        ( e))
      ( X)

A map is a k-epimorphism if and only if its codiagonal is k-connected

This strengthens the above result about the codiagonal being a k-equivalence.
