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...

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...

Indeed, the term "zero object" originated in the study of preadditive categories like Ab , where the zero object is the zero group . A preadditive ...

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...

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

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...

As mentioned above, the category of all abelian groups is an abelian category. The category of all finitely generated abelian groups is also an abe...

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

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...
