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...

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...

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...

G -sets are nothing but functors from this category to Set The category of all directed graphs is cartesian closed; this is a functor category as e...

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...

contravariant functor is right exact if and only if it turns finite limits into colimits. A functor is exact if and only if it is both left exact a...

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...

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...

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