What is a category?

  1. A collection of objects and arrows.

  2. A set of sets.

  3. A group of transformations.

  4. A topological space.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A category consists of a collection of objects and a collection of arrows, where each arrow is a morphism from one object to another.

What is a functor?

  1. A function between categories.

  2. A transformation between functors.

  3. A natural transformation between functors.

  4. A category of functors.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A functor is a function between categories that preserves the structure of the categories, i.e., it maps objects to objects and arrows to arrows in a compatible way.

What is a natural transformation?

  1. A transformation between functors.

  2. A function between categories.

  3. A category of functors.

  4. A set of natural numbers.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A natural transformation is a transformation between functors that preserves the structure of the functors, i.e., it maps arrows to arrows in a compatible way.

What is an adjoint functor?

  1. A functor that has a right adjoint.

  2. A functor that has a left adjoint.

  3. A functor that has both a left and right adjoint.

  4. A functor that has no adjoints.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An adjoint functor is a functor that has a right adjoint, which is a functor that is related to the original functor in a specific way.

What is a monoidal category?

  1. A category with a tensor product.

  2. A category with a unit object.

  3. A category with a zero object.

  4. A category with a product and a coproduct.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A monoidal category is a category with a tensor product, which is a binary operation that combines two objects to form a new object.

What is a closed category?

  1. A category with a tensor product and an internal hom functor.

  2. A category with a unit object and a zero object.

  3. A category with a product and a coproduct.

  4. A category with a power object.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A closed category is a category with a tensor product and an internal hom functor, which is a functor that maps a pair of objects to the set of morphisms between them.

What is a topos?

  1. A category that is locally cartesian closed.

  2. A category that is cartesian closed.

  3. A category that is monoidal closed.

  4. A category that is symmetric monoidal closed.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A topos is a category that is locally cartesian closed, which means that it has a tensor product and an internal hom functor that satisfy certain conditions.

What is the Yoneda lemma?
