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

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

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...

Universal cones Limits and colimits are defined as universal cones . That is, cones through which all other cones factor. A cone ? from L to F is a...

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

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...

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 if coproducts exists in a given category (they need not) they are unique up to a unique isomorphism that respects the injections. I...

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...
