Problems formulated with adjoint functors 1.3 Adjoint functors as solving optimization problems 1.4 The case of partial orders 2 Formal definitions...

Diagonal functor : The diagonal functor is defined as the functor from D to the functor category D C which sends each object in D to the constant f...

Preservation of limits Representable functors are naturally isomorphic to Hom functors and therefore share their properties. In particular, (covari...

Yoneda's lemma asserts that every natural transformation between Hom functors is of this form. In other words, the Hom functors give rise to a full...

Beck's monadicity theorem gives a characterization of monadic functors. [ edit ] Uses Monads are used in functional programming to express types of...

It follows that any functor which preserves limits will take terminal objects to terminal objects, and any functor which preserves colimits will ta...

Functors Main article: functor Functors are structure-preserving maps between categories. They can be thought of as morphisms in the category of al...

C ) can be made precise in several ways; the most succinct formulation uses the language of adjoint functors . Every functor F  : D ? E induces a f...

If there is a monoidal functor from a monoidal category M to a monoidal category N , then any category enriched over M can be reinterpreted as a ca...

Namely, we can demand the existence of a tensor product that is left adjoint to the internal Hom functor . In this approach, closed monoidal catego...

Ab is a reflective subcategory of the category of groups , Grp . The reflector is the functor which sends each group to its abelianization . Simila...

Limits and universal morphisms Colimits in comma categories may be "inherited". If and are cocomplete, is a cocontinuous functor, and another funct...
