Hence any arrow $f:{\bf C}[A,B]$ gives rise to a natural transformation. === Reference === Wikipedia: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_functor|Diagonal functor]] nLab: [[http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/diagonal+functor|Diagonal functor]] ==== Parents ==== === Context === [[Categories]] === Element of === [[Functor]] === Requirements === [[Constant functor]], [[Functor category]]
