r""" Covariant Functorial Constructions
A *functorial construction* is a collection of functors `(F_{Cat})_{Cat}` (indexed by a collection of categories) which associate to a sequence of parents `(A, B, ...)` in a category `Cat` a parent `F_{Cat}(A, B, ...)`. Typical examples of functorial constructions are :obj:`cartesian_product` and :obj:`tensor_product`.
The category of `F_{Cat}(A, B, ...)`, which only depends on `Cat`, is called the (functorial) construction category.
A functorial construction is *(category)-covariant* if for every categories `Cat` and `SuperCat`, the category of `F_{Cat}(A, B, ...)` is a subcategory of the category of `F_{SuperCat}(A, B, ...)` whenever `Cat` is a subcategory of `SuperCat`. A functorial construction is *(category)-regressive* if the category of `F_{Cat}(A, B, ...)` is a subcategory of `Cat`.
The goal of this module is to provide generic support for covariant functorial constructions. In particular, given some parents `A`, `B`, ..., in respective categories `Cat_A`, `Cat_B`, ..., it provides tools for calculating the best known category for the parent `F(A,B,...)`. For examples, knowing that Cartesian products of semigroups (resp. monoids, groups) have a semigroup (resp. monoid, group) structure, and given a group `B` and two monoids `A` and `C` it can calculate that `A \times B \times C` is naturally endowed with a monoid structure.
See :class:`CovariantFunctorialConstruction`, :class:`CovariantConstructionCategory` and :class:`RegressiveCovariantConstructionCategory` for more details.

class CovariantFunctorialConstruction(UniqueRepresentation, SageObject): r""" An abstract class for construction functors `F` (eg `F` = Cartesian product, tensor product, `\QQ`-algebra, ...) such that:
- Each category `Cat` (eg `Cat=` ``Groups()``) can provide a category `F_{Cat}` for parents constructed via this functor (e.g. `F_{Cat} =` ``CartesianProductsOf(Groups())``).
- For every category `Cat`, `F_{Cat}` is a subcategory of `F_{SuperCat}` for every super category `SuperCat` of `Cat` (the functorial construction is (category)-covariant).
- For parents `A`, `B`, ..., respectively in the categories `Cat_A`, `Cat_B`, ..., the category of `F(A,B,...)` is `F_{Cat}` where `Cat` is the meet of the categories `Cat_A`, `Cat_B`, ...,.
This covers two slightly different use cases:
- In the first use case, one uses directly the construction functor to create new parents::
sage: tensor() # todo: not implemented (add an example)
or even new elements, which indirectly constructs the corresponding parent::
sage: tensor(...) # todo: not implemented
- In the second use case, one implements a parent, and then put it in the category `F_{Cat}` to specify supplementary mathematical information about that parent.
The main purpose of this class is to handle automatically the trivial part of the category hierarchy. For example, ``CartesianProductsOf(Groups())`` is set automatically as a subcategory of ``CartesianProductsOf(Monoids())``.
In practice, each subclass of this class should provide the following attributes:
- ``_functor_category`` - a string which should match the name of the nested category class to be used in each category to specify information and generic operations for elements of this category.
- ``_functor_name`` - an string which specifies the name of the functor, and also (when relevant) of the method on parents and elements used for calling the construction.
TODO: What syntax do we want for `F_{Cat}`? For example, for the tensor product construction, which one of the followings do we want (see chat on IRC, on 07/12/2009):
- ``tensor(Cat)`` - ``tensor((Cat, Cat))`` - ``tensor.of((Cat, Cat))`` - ``tensor.category_from_categories((Cat, Cat, Cat))`` - ``Cat.TensorProducts()``
The syntax ``Cat.TensorProducts()`` does not supports well multivariate constructions like ``tensor.of([Algebras(), HopfAlgebras(), ...])``. Also it forces every category to be (somehow) aware of all the tensorial construction that could apply to it, even those which are only induced from super categories.
Note: for each functorial construction, there probably is one (or several) largest categories on which it applies. For example, the :func:`~sage.categories.cartesian_product.CartesianProducts` construction makes only sense for concrete categories, that is subcategories of ``Sets()``. Maybe we want to model this one way or the other. """
