In category theory, a functor is a mapping between:

  1. Categories and sets

  2. Categories and groups

  3. Categories and topological spaces

  4. Categories and functions


Correct Option:
Explanation:

A functor is a structure-preserving map between categories, consisting of a mapping between the objects of the categories and a mapping between the morphisms of the categories.

In topology, a topological space is defined as a set X together with:

  1. A collection of open sets

  2. A collection of closed sets

  3. A collection of compact sets

  4. A collection of connected sets


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A topological space is a set X equipped with a collection of subsets of X called open sets, which satisfy certain axioms.

A continuous map between topological spaces is a function that:

  1. Preserves open sets

  2. Preserves closed sets

  3. Preserves compact sets

  4. Preserves connected sets


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A continuous map between topological spaces is a function that preserves open sets, meaning that the preimage of an open set is an open set.

In category theory, a natural transformation between functors is a:

  1. Homomorphism

  2. Isomorphism

  3. Epimorphism

  4. Monomorphism


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A natural transformation between functors is a homomorphism, which is a structure-preserving map between two algebraic structures of the same type.

In topology, a compact space is a space that is:

  1. Closed and bounded

  2. Open and bounded

  3. Closed and unbounded

  4. Open and unbounded


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A compact space is a topological space in which every open cover has a finite subcover.

In category theory, an isomorphism is a functor that is:

  1. Injective and surjective

  2. Injective but not surjective

  3. Surjective but not injective

  4. Neither injective nor surjective


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An isomorphism is a functor that is both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto).

In topology, a connected space is a space that:

  1. Cannot be separated into two disjoint open sets

  2. Can be separated into two disjoint open sets

  3. Is compact

  4. Is Hausdorff


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A connected space is a topological space that cannot be separated into two disjoint open sets.

In category theory, a category is a collection of:

  1. Objects and morphisms

  2. Objects and functions

  3. Morphisms and functions

  4. Objects and sets


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A category consists of a collection of objects and a collection of morphisms between the objects.

In topology, a Hausdorff space is a space in which:

  1. Every point is closed

  2. Every point is open

  3. Every point has a unique neighborhood

  4. Every point is a limit point


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A Hausdorff space is a topological space in which every point has a unique neighborhood.

In category theory, a monomorphism is a functor that is:

  1. Injective

  2. Surjective

  3. Bijective

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A monomorphism is a functor that is injective, meaning that it preserves distinct elements.

In topology, a compact space is also known as a:

  1. Lindelöf space

  2. Hausdorff space

  3. Connected space

  4. Simply connected space


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A compact space is also known as a Lindelöf space, which means that every open cover of the space has a countable subcover.

In category theory, an epimorphism is a functor that is:

  1. Injective

  2. Surjective

  3. Bijective

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An epimorphism is a functor that is surjective, meaning that it maps every object in the domain category to an object in the codomain category.

In topology, a connected space is also known as a:

  1. Path-connected space

  2. Simply connected space

  3. Locally connected space

  4. Arcwise connected space


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A connected space is also known as a path-connected space, which means that any two points in the space can be connected by a continuous path.

In category theory, a category is said to be:

  1. Well-powered

  2. Small

  3. Large

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A category is said to be small if the collection of its objects forms a set.

In topology, a topological space is said to be:

  1. Regular

  2. Normal

  3. Hausdorff

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A topological space is said to be regular, normal, and Hausdorff if it satisfies certain separation axioms.
