More concepts to explore

  • Categories

    A category has objects, morphisms, associative composition and identity morphisms.

  • Natural transformations

    Compatible morphisms between functor values commute with every source-category morphism.

  • Abelian categories

    An abelian category supports additive structure, kernels, cokernels and exactness with compatible axioms.

  • Adjunctions

    An adjunction relates morphism sets naturally between two functors.

  • Equivalence of categories

    Functors inverse up to natural isomorphism express equivalence without literal equality of categories.
