Details and Options
A functor between two categories is a mapping that associates every object in the domain category to a corresponding object in the codomain category, as well as every morphism in the domain category to a corresponding morphism in the codomain category, in such a way that the sources and targets of morphisms are respected by this map, identity morphisms on objects in the domain category are mapped to the identity morphisms on the corresponding objects in the codomain category, and compositions of morphisms in the domain category are mapped to compositions of the corresponding morphisms in the codomain category. In this way, a functor can be thought of as a homomorphism between categories (in that it generalizes the standard algebraic notion of homomorphism between monoids, groups, rings, etc. to the case of categories containing more than one object).
A map between categories that preserves the composition and identity conditions is often referred to as possessing the property of functoriality.
Though the definition given above applies to the case of covariant functors, there are also contravariant functors which have the effect of swapping the sources and targets of morphisms around and reversing the direction of composition. Contravariant functors may therefore be thought of as covariant functors defined over the dual/opposite category.
Functors capture many familiar constructions from mathematics such as presheaves (contravariant functors from the category of open sets in a topological space to the category of sets), power sets (covariant or contravariant functors from the category of sets to itself), dual vector spaces (contravariant functors from the category of vector spaces over a fixed field to itself), fundamental groups (covariant functors from the category of pointed topological spaces to the category of groups), group actions (covariant functors from a single-object groupoid to the category of sets), group representations (covariant functors from a single-object groupoid to the category of vector spaces), tensor products (covariant two-argument functors from the category of vector spaces to itself), tangent/cotangent bundles (covariant/contravariant functors from the category of differentiable manifolds to the category of vector bundles), etc., and generalize them to arbitrary categories. Indeed, every category-theoretic diagram can be thought of as a covariant functor from some (usually finite) index category to an arbitrary category.
An abstract presentation of a functor can therefore be given in terms of an initial abstract category (the domain), collections of mappings between objects and arrows in the underlying abstract quiver, collections of new objects and arrows to add to the codomain category, a new composition symbol and a new identity symbol for the codomain category, and collections of new relations between objects and morphisms (effectively specifying which objects and morphisms in the codomain category may be treated as equivalent).
ResourceFunction["AbstractFunctor"] supports the specification of abstract functors either by an initial abstract category together with eight lists/associations/symbols (an association of mappings between objects mapob, an association of mappings between arrows maparr, a list of new objects newob, an association of new arrows newarr, a new composition symbol comp, a new identity symbol id, a list of new object equivalences eqob and a list of new morphism equivalences eqmor), by an arbitrary function func (applied to a specified initial abstract category) or by an explicit association of the form <|"Covariant"→cov,"Category"→cat,"ObjectMappings"→mapob,"ArrowMappings"→maparr,"NewObjects"→newob,"NewArrows"→newarr,"NewCompositionSymbol"→comp,"NewIdentitySymbol"→id,"ObjectEquivalences"→eqob,"MorphismEquivalences"→eqmor|>.
An abstract category object can be generated using the resource function AbstractCategory.
Where specified, the new composition symbol comp should be a binary operator and the new identity symbol id should be a unary operator.
When specifying an abstract functor by a collection of lists/associations/symbols, ResourceFunction["AbstractFunctor"] allows one to omit either the association of object mappings, the association of arrow mappings, the list of new objects, the association of new arrows, the new composition symbol, the new identity symbol, the list of new object equivalences or the list of new morphism equivalences (or some combination of the above). When the object mappings association is omitted, every object in the domain category is assumed to map to itself; likewise, when the arrow mappings association is omitted, every arrow in the underlying quiver of the domain category is assumed to map to itself. When the list of new objects or the association of new arrows is omitted, they are assumed to be empty (i.e. no new objects/arrows are created). When the new composition or identity symbol is omitted, they are assumed to be the same as the composition and identity symbols in the domain category. When lists of either new object equivalences or new morphism equivalences are omitted, they are assumed to be empty (i.e. no new equivalences between objects/morphisms are imposed in the codomain category).
Note that abstract functor specifies mappings at the level of arrows in the underlying abstract quiver, rather than mappings between the morphisms of the categories themselves; this is because the specification of mappings between the underlying arrows is sufficient to determine the functor fully, since all other mappings between morphisms can subsequently be deduced from the properties of composition and identity in the underlying category (which are necessarily preserved by virtue of functoriality).
By default, all object and morphism equivalences in the domain category will be respected by the application of an abstract functor (i.e. the equivalences between objects and morphisms in the domain category will be mapped to equivalences between the corresponding objects and morphisms in the codomain category, together with any new equivalences imposed by the abstract functor itself).
The codomain category may be strictly larger (if sufficiently many new objects and new arrows are introduced), strictly smaller (if sufficiently many new equivalences between objects and morphisms are introduced), or the same size as the domain category.
If the function succeeds in constructing the specified abstract functor, it will return an ResourceFunction["AbstractFunctor"] expression.
ResourceFunction["AbstractFunctor"] expressions can be applied directly to AbstractCategory expressions, in which case a new AbstractCategory expression will be created by applying the specified object and arrow mappings, creating the specified new objects and arrows, introducing the specified composition and identity symbols and imposing the specified object and morphism equivalences to the old AbstractCategory. When the input AbstractCategory is the domain category of the ResourceFunction["AbstractFunctor"], then this will simply return the corresponding codomain category.
