Subject: question on "model functor"
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 15:13:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <39C22090.5802016D@informatik.uni-bremen.de> (raw)

The following question looks so natural that somebody's
bound to have looked into it:

Does the functor

Cat^op ---> CAT

A  |-->   [A,Set]

reflect isomorphisms (more generally: limits)?

related questions (i.e. ones that would solve the problem or
at least help solving it) are

-- Are epimorphisms in Cat those functors F:A-->B for which
   F[A] generates B by composites and inverses of isomorphisms (in B)?
-- is the source of all covariant hom-functors an extremal mono-source
   in CAT?


The answers are probably in the literature - but where?

Thanks a lot,

Lutz Schroeder
