Representable functors
Warm-upHumanWhich pair is a universal element of the forgetful functor from abelian groups to sets?
Which pair is a universal element of the forgetful functor from abelian groups to sets?
The group represents the functor sending a group to the set of commuting pairs . How many group homomorphisms are there?
How many different natural isomorphisms are there, where is the forgetful functor?
Which pairs with are universal elements of the contravariant power-set functor (acting by preimage)? Choose all that apply.
In the proof of Theorem 2 we have with and with . Why is ?
Which of these functors is not representable?
Let send a space to its set of closed subsets (a continuous map acts by preimage). Which pair represents ? Here is the Sierpiński space with open sets .
In the lesson's Lean file, imagePowerset : Type ⥤ Type is the covariant power-set functor (direct images). Which Lean statement says that it is not representable, i.e. that no type represents it?
Since represents , the number of homomorphisms equals the number of with . Write hom_count(n, m) computing this number (for ). Then compare your answers with .
