A natural transformation η between two functors F and G (both mapping from category C to category D) is a rule that assigns to every object x in C a morphism ηx in D, specifically from F(x) to G(x). This morphism ηx is called the component of the natural transformation at object x.
Conditions: F and G are functors from category C to category D.; For each object x in C, ηx is a morphism in D from F(x) to G(x).; For every morphism h:x→y in C, the commutative square condition ηy∘F(h)=G(h)∘ηx must hold.

The cotangent space at p is the dual space of the tangent space at p. It is written as Hom(TpRn,R) because it consists of all linear maps from the tangent space TpRn to the field R.

For a smooth manifold M over a field F, the cotangent space at p is defined as Hom(TpM,F). The earlier Rn example is recovered by taking M=Rn and F=R.
Conditions: M is a smooth manifold.; F is the field over which the manifold is considered.
