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...

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...

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...

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

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

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...

R -Mod, an injective object is an injective module . R -Mod has injective hulls (as a consequence, R-Mod has enough injectives). In the category of...

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

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...

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

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...
