In category theory, an end of a functor is a universal extranatural transformation from an object ''e'' of X to ''S''. More explicitly, this is a pair , where ''e'' is an object of X and : is an extranatural transformation such that for every extranatural transformation : there exists a unique morphism : of X with : for every object ''a'' of C. By abuse of language the object ''e'' is often called the ''end'' of the functor ''S'' (forgetting ) and is written : where the first morphism is induced by and the second morphism is induced by . == Coend == The definition of the coend of a functor is the dual of the definition of an end. Thus, a coend of ''S'' consists of a pair , where ''d'' is an object of X and : is an extranatural transformation, such that for every extranatural transformation : there exists a unique morphism : of X with : for every object ''a'' of C. The ''coend'' ''d'' of the functor ''S'' is written : Characterization as colimit: Dually, if X is cocomplete, then the coend can be described as the coequalizer in the diagram : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「End (category theory)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
