Implication Details
Claim: If a category has binary copowers and is left cancellative, then it is thin.
Proof: For every object the codiagonal is a split epimorphism, and by assumption a monomorphism, hence an isomorphism. Hence, the two inclusions coincide. Now, if are two morphisms, consider the induced morphism and compute .
This implication has a dual.
