===== Presheaf category ===== ==== Category ==== | @#55CCEE: context | @#55CCEE: ${\bf C}$ ... small category | | @#FFBB00: definiendum | @#FFBB00: ${\bf Set}^{{\bf C}^\mathrm{op}}$ | ----- The co- and contravariant hom-functors $\mathrm{Hom}(B,-)$ and $\mathrm{Hom}(-,B)$ are maybe the most natural functors. While forgetful functors are other examples of covariant set-valued functors, covariant functors very often have to do with function spaces. (Once we pass from presheaves to sheaves by adding some more "topological requirements", this becomes a theorem: sheaves can always be viewed as evaluating to collections of function spaces.) === Reference === Wikipedia: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoneda_lemma|Yoneda lemma]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functor_category|Functor category]] ----- === Subset of === [[Functor category]] === Context === [[Cat]] === Requirements === [[Set]], [[Opposite category]]
