The Yoneda Lemma

Reviewed

Let C\mathcal{C} be a locally small category,
AA be an object in Ob(C)\operatorname{Ob}(\mathcal{C}),
and hA:CSeth_A : \mathcal{C} \to \mathbf{Set} be the covariant hom-functor defined by:

  • hA(X)=C(A,X)h_A(X) = \mathcal{C}(A, X) for any object XCX \in \mathcal{C}.
  • hA(f)(g)=fgh_A(f)(g) = f \circ g for any morphism f:XYf : X \to Y and gC(A,X)g \in \mathcal{C}(A, X).

Let F:CSetF : \mathcal{C} \to \mathbf{Set} be an arbitrary covariant functor.

Prove that there exists a bijection:
Φ:Nat(hA,F)F(A)\Phi : \operatorname{Nat}(h_A, F) \to F(A)which is natural in both AA and FF.
