1 Category of functors of a finitely presented (linear) category

1.1 Constructors

1.1-1 FunctorCategory
‣ FunctorCategory( B, D )( operation )
‣ FunctorCategory( B, k )( operation )
‣ FunctorCategory( B )( operation )
‣ Hom( B, D )( operation )
‣ Hom( B, k )( operation )

Returns: a CAP category

Construct the category FunctorCategory( B, D )= Hom( B, D ) of functors from the small category B to the category D as objects and their natural transformations as morphisms.

1.1-2 AsObjectInFunctorCategory
‣ AsObjectInFunctorCategory( F )( attribute )
‣ AsObjectInFunctorCategory( B, rec_images_of_objects, rec_images_of_morphisms )( operation )
‣ AsObjectInFunctorCategory( B, images_of_objects, images_of_morphisms )( operation )

Returns: an object in a CAP category

Turn the functor F:B \(\to\) D into an object in the category of functors Hom := Hom( B, D ). An alternative input is the source category B and two defining records rec_images_of_objects and rec_images_of_morphisms of F. Another alternative input is the source category B and two defining lists images_of_objects and images_of_morphisms of F. The order of their entries must correspond to that of the vertices and arrows of the underlying quiver.

For the convenience of the user the following input is also valid: If images_of_objects is a list of nonnegative integers, images_of_morphisms is a list of matrices, and \(k:=\) CommutativeRingOfLinearCategory( B ) is a field then the two lists are interpreted as objects and morphisms in a matrix category or a category of rows over \(k\), respectively.

‣ AsMorphismInFunctorCategory( U, e, V )( operation )

1.5 Examples

1.5-1 Representations of the cyclic groups of order 3 as a category of functors

To illustrate our implementation of the category of functors, we consider the following example. First, create a quiver \(q\) with one vertex 1 and one edge \(t\).

gap> q := RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" );
q(1)[t:1->1]

Construct the free \(\mathbb{Q}\)-algebra \(A\) of \(q\). It is isomorphic to the polynomial algebra \(\mathbb{Q}[t]\).

gap> F := FreeCategory( q );
FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) )
gap> Q := HomalgFieldOfRationals( );
Q
gap> QF := Q[F];
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) )

Out of this path algebra construct the algebra \(B\) that is obtained as the quotient modulo the ideal \(\langle t^3 - 1 \rangle\).

gap> B := QuotientCategory( QF, [ QF.t^3 - IdentityMorphism( QF.1 ) ]
>              : range_of_HomStructure := MatrixCategory( Q ) );
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations
gap> RelationsOfAlgebroid( B );
[ (1)-[1*(t*t*t) - 1*(1)]->(1) ]

We define a record that will be used to construct the \(\mathbb{Q}\)-linear morphism \(\epsilon \colon B \to \mathbb{Q}\) defined by \(\epsilon(t)=1\).

gap> counit := rec( t := 1 );
rec( t := 1 )

Next we want to construct the \(\mathbb{Q}\)-linear morphism \(\Delta \colon B \to B \otimes_{\mathbb{Q}} B\) defined by \(\Delta(t)= t \otimes t\). In order to do so, we first need \(B \otimes_\mathbb{Q} B\).

gap> B2 := B^2;
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver(
"qxq(1x1)[1xt:1x1->1x1,tx1:1x1->1x1]" ) ) ) / relations

We define a record that will be used to construct \(\Delta\). Note that we obtain \(t \otimes t\) as the product of the generators \(t \otimes 1\) and \(1 \otimes t\) of \(B \otimes_\mathbb{Q} B\). The order does not matter.

gap> comult := rec( t := PreCompose( B2.tx1, B2.1xt ) );
rec( t := (1x1)-[{ 1*(1xt*tx1) }]->(1x1) )
gap> PreCompose(B2.1xt, B2.tx1) = PreCompose(B2.tx1, B2.1xt);
true

Use the records comult and counit to define a bialgebroid (actually a bialgebra) structure on \(B\).

gap> AddBialgebroidStructure( B, counit, comult );
Bialgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations

Extract comultiplication and counit from \(B\), now as functors.

gap> counit := Counit( B );
Functor from
Bialgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations
->
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "*(1)[]" ) ) )
gap> comult := Comultiplication( B );
Functor from
Bialgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations
->
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver(
"qxq(1x1)[1xt:1x1->1x1,tx1:1x1->1x1]" ) ) ) / relations

We can apply the comultiplication and counit to objects and morphisms of \(B\).

gap> ApplyFunctor( counit, B.1 );
<(1)>
gap> ApplyFunctor( counit, B.t );
(1)-[1*(1)]->(1)
gap> ApplyFunctor( comult, B.1 );
<(1x1)>
gap> ApplyFunctor( comult, B.t );
(1x1)-[{ 1*(1xt*tx1) }]->(1x1)

Next we define an antipode on \(B\) as the (anti)endomorphism on \(B\) that sends \(t\) to \(t^2\). This corresponds to the (anti)endomorphism of the cyclic group of order 3 that sends an element to its inverse.

gap> antipode := rec( t := PreCompose( B.t, B.t ) );
rec( t := (1)-[{ 1*(t*t) }]->(1) )
gap> AddAntipode( B, antipode );
gap> antipode := Antipode( B );
Contravariant functor from
HopfAlgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations
->
HopfAlgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations
gap> ApplyFunctor( antipode, B.1 );
<(1)>
gap> ApplyFunctor( antipode, B.t );
(1)-[{ 1*(t*t) }]->(1)

Let \(A\) be the range category of the homomorphism structure of \(B\). It is the matrix category over \(\mathbb{Q}\). Its objects are natural numbers and its morphisms the matrices with coefficients in \(\mathbb{Q}\). We use it as a skeletal model of the category of finite dimension vector spaces.

gap> A := RangeCategoryOfHomomorphismStructure( B );
Category of matrices over Q

Construct the category \(H\) of functors from \(B\) to \(A\). An object in this category is a pair consisting of a finite-dimensional vector space, specified by its dimension, together with an endomorphism of this vector space, specified by a square matrix.

gap> H := FunctorCategory( B, A :
>        doctrines := [ "IsRigidSymmetricClosedMonoidalCategory" ] );
FunctorCategory( HopfAlgebra( Q, FreeCategory(
RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations, Category of matrices over Q )

Verify that its zero object \(z\) behaves as expected.

gap> z := ZeroObject( H );
<(1)->0; (t)->0x0>
gap> z( B.1 );
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 0>
gap> z.1;
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 0>
gap> z( B.t );
<A morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> z.t = z( B.t );
true
gap> idz := IdentityMorphism( z );
<(1)->0x0>
gap> idz( B.1 );
<A zero, identity morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> idz.1 = idz( B.1 );
true
gap> DirectSum( z, z );
<(1)->0; (t)->0x0>
gap> DirectSum( z, z ) = z;
true

Now we construct an object in \(H\), i.e. a functor from \(B\) to \(A\). To this end we need a finite dimensional vector space \(V_0\)

gap> V0 := 3 / A;
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 3>

and an endomorphism \(\varphi\) on \(V_0\).

gap> phi := HomalgMatrix( [ 0, 1, 0,  0, 0, 1,  1, 0, 0 ], 3, 3, Q );
<A 3 x 3 matrix over an internal ring>
gap> V_obj := rec( 1 := V0 );
rec( 1 := <A vector space object over Q of dimension 3> )
gap> V_mor := rec( t := phi / A );
rec( t := <A morphism in Category of matrices over Q> )
gap> V := AsObjectInFunctorCategory( B, V_obj, V_mor );
<(1)->3; (t)->3x3>

This functor is indeed well defined.

gap> IsWellDefined( V );
true

Let us see how such a functor can fail to be well defined:

gap> psi := HomalgMatrix( [ 1, 0, 0,  0, 0, 1,  0, 1, 0 ], 3, 3, Q );
<A 3 x 3 matrix over an internal ring>
gap> W_obj := rec( 1 := V0 );
rec( 1 := <A vector space object over Q of dimension 3> )
gap> W_mor := rec( t := psi / A );
rec( t := <A morphism in Category of matrices over Q> )
gap> W := AsObjectInFunctorCategory( B, W_obj, W_mor );
<(1)->3; (t)->3x3>
gap> IsWellDefined( W );
false

Display some of the properties of this functor.

gap> V.1;
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 3>
gap> V.1 = V( B.1 );
true
gap> V.t;
<A morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> V.t = V( B.t );

gap> VoplusV( B.1 );
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 6>
gap> VoplusV( B.t );

gap> Display( VoplusV( B.t ) );

  [  0,  0,  0,  0,  1,  0 ],
  [  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  1 ],
  [  0,  0,  0,  1,  0,  0 ] ]

A morphism in Category of matrices over Q

Construct the projection \(\pi_1\) from \(V \oplus V\) to the first summand and study some of its properties.

gap> pi1 := ProjectionInFactorOfDirectSum( [ V, V ], 1 );
<(1)->6x3>
gap> pi1 = -pi1;
false
gap> pi1( B.1 );
<A morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> Display( pi1( B.1 ) );
[ [  1,  0,  0 ],
  [  0,  1,  0 ],

gap> IsWellDefined( pi1 );
true
gap> IsEpimorphism( pi1 );

gap> V1 := KernelObject( pi1 );
<(1)->3; (t)->3x3>
gap> IsWellDefined( V1 );
true
gap> V1 = V;
true

Construct the projection \(\pi_2\) from \(V \oplus V\) to the second summand and check that it is not equal to \(\pi_1\).

gap> pi2 := ProjectionInFactorOfDirectSum( [ V, V ], 2 );
<(1)->6x3>
gap> pi1 = pi2;
false

Construct another object \(U\) in the category of functors from \(B\) to \(A\).

gap> psi := HomalgMatrix( [ 0, 1,  -1, -1 ], 2, 2, Q );
<A 2 x 2 matrix over an internal ring>
gap> U := 2 / A;
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 2>
gap> U_obj := rec( 1 := U );
rec( 1 := <A vector space object over Q of dimension 2> )
gap> U_mor := rec( t := psi / A );
rec( t := <A morphism in Category of matrices over Q> )
gap> U := CapFunctor( B, U_obj, U_mor );
Functor from
HopfAlgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ) / relations
->
Category of matrices over Q
gap> U := AsObjectInFunctorCategory( U );
<(1)->2; (t)->2x2>
gap> IsWellDefined( U );
true
gap> U( B.1 );
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 2>
gap> U( B.t );
<A morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> Display( U( B.t ) );
[ [   0,   1 ],
  [  -1,  -1 ] ]

A morphism in Category of matrices over Q
gap> IsZero( U );
false

To construct a morphism \(\eta\) from \(V\) to \(U\) in \(H\) (i.e. a natural transformation from the functor \(V\) to \(U\)), we first define a HomAlg matrix.

gap> eta := HomalgMatrix( [ 1, 0,  0, 1,  -1, -1 ], 3, 2, Q );
<A 3 x 2 matrix over an internal ring>

Then we define a record that will be used to define the natural transformation \(\eta\). Here 1 is the string representation of the only object of \(B\) and the vector space morphism induced by the above matrix is the component of \(\eta\) at this object.

gap> eta := rec( 1 := eta / A );
rec( 1 := <A morphism in Category of matrices over Q> )

Finally we construct the natural transformation \(\eta\) from \(V\) to \(U\) as a morphism in the category of functors from \(B\) to \(A\).

gap> eta := AsMorphismInFunctorCategory( V, eta, U );
<(1)->3x2>

We check that \(\eta\) is well defined.

gap> IsWellDefined( eta );
true

We retrieve the component of \(\eta\) at the object 1 of \(B\).

gap> eta( B.1 );
<A morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> Display( eta( B.1 ) );
[ [   1,   0 ],
  [   0,   1 ],
  [  -1,  -1 ] ]

A morphism in Category of matrices over Q

We study some of the properties of \(\eta\).

gap> IsEpimorphism( eta );
true
gap> IsMonomorphism( eta );
false

Construct the kernel object of \(\eta\).

gap> K := KernelObject( eta );
<(1)->1; (t)->1x1>
gap> K( B.1 );
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 1>
gap> K( B.t );
<A morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> Display( K( B.t ) );
[ [  1 ] ]

A morphism in Category of matrices over Q
gap> iota := KernelEmbedding( eta );
<(1)->1x3>
gap> C := CokernelObject( iota );
<(1)->2; (t)->2x2>
gap> C = U;
true

Since \(B\) is a bialgebra, \(H\) becomes a monoidal category. First we obtain the unit object \(I\) of this monoidal category.

gap> I := TensorUnit( H );
<(1)->1; (t)->1x1>
gap> I( B.1 );
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 1>
gap> I( B.t );

1.5-2 Differential modules as a category of functors

We illustrate how the category of functors can be used to model differential modules. First, create a quiver \(q\) with one vertex 1 and one edge \(t\).

gap> q := RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" );
q(1)[t:1->1]

Construct the free \(\mathbb{Q}\)-algebra \(B\) of \(q\). It is isomorphic to the polynomial algebra \(\mathbb{Q}[t]\).

gap> F := FreeCategory( q );
FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) )
gap> Q := HomalgFieldOfRationals( );
Q
gap> B := Q[F];
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) )

Define a record that described the \(\mathbb{Q}\)-linear morphism \(\epsilon \colon B \to \mathbb{Q}\) defined by \(\epsilon(t) = 0\).

gap> counit := rec( t := 0 );
rec( t := 0 )

Construct the tensor product \(B \otimes_{\mathbb{Q}} B\).

gap> B2 := B^2;
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory(
RightQuiver( "qxq(1x1)[1xt:1x1->1x1,tx1:1x1->1x1]" ) ) ) / relations

Define a record that describes the \(\mathbb{Q}\)-linear morphism \(\Delta \colon B \to B \otimes_{\mathbb{Q}} B\) defined by \(\Delta(t) \coloneqq t \otimes 1 + 1 \otimes t\).

gap> comult := rec( t := B2.tx1 + B2.1xt );
rec( t := (1x1)-[{ 1*(tx1) + 1*(1xt) }]->(1x1) )

Consider \(B\) as a bialgebroid (which is actually a bialgebra) with respect to the counit \(\epsilon\) and comultiplication \(\Delta\).

gap> AddBialgebroidStructure( B, counit, comult );
Bialgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) )

Retrieve the counit of \(B\) as a functor

gap> counit := Counit( B );
Functor from Bialgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) )
->
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "*(1)[]" ) ) )

Apply the functor counit to the (unique) object 1 of \(B\).

gap> ApplyFunctor( counit, B.1 );
<(1)>

When we apply the functor counit to the morphism \(t\) of \(B\), we obtain the zero endomorphism of the object \(1\) of \(B^0\).

gap> ApplyFunctor( counit, B.t );
(1)-[0]->(1)

Retrieve the comultiplication of \(B\) as a functor.

gap> comult := Comultiplication( B );
Functor from Bialgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) )
->
Algebra( Q, FreeCategory(
RightQuiver( "qxq(1x1)[1xt:1x1->1x1,tx1:1x1->1x1]" ) ) ) / relations
gap> ApplyFunctor( comult, B.1 );
<(1x1)>

When we apply the functor comult to the morphism \(t\) of \(B\), we obtain the endomorphism \(t \otimes 1 + 1 \otimes t\) on the object \(1 \times 1\) of \(B^2\).

gap> ApplyFunctor( comult, B.t );
(1x1)-[{ 1*(tx1) + 1*(1xt) }]->(1x1)

Define the underlying record for the antipode \(S \colon B \to B\). It sends \(t\) to \(-t\).

gap> antipode := rec( t := -B.t );
rec( t := (1)-[-1*(t)]->(1) )

Add the antipode to \(B\).

gap> AddAntipode( B, antipode );

Get the antipode back as a contravariant functor from \(B\) to \(B\).

gap> antipode := Antipode( B );
Contravariant functor from
HopfAlgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) )
->
HopfAlgebra( Q, FreeCategory( RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) )
gap> ApplyFunctor( antipode, B.1 );
<(1)>
gap> ApplyFunctor( antipode, B.t );
(1)-[-1*(t)]->(1)

Let \(A\) be the category with objects the natural numbers and morphisms the matrices with coefficients in \(\mathbb{Q}\). We use it as a skeletal model of the category of finite dimension vector spaces.

gap> A := MatrixCategory( Q );
Category of matrices over Q

Let \(H\) be the category of functors from \(B\) to \(A\).

gap> H := FunctorCategory( B, A :
>        doctrines := [ "IsRigidSymmetricClosedMonoidalCategory" ] );
FunctorCategory( HopfAlgebra( Q, FreeCategory(
RightQuiver( "q(1)[t:1->1]" ) ) ), Category of matrices over Q )

Let \(z\) be the zero object in \(H\).

gap> z := ZeroObject( H );
<(1)->0; (t)->0x0>
gap> z( B.1 );
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 0>
gap> z( B.t );
<A morphism in Category of matrices over Q>

gap> idz( B.1 );
<A zero, identity morphism in Category of matrices over Q>
gap> DirectSum( z, z );
<(1)->0; (t)->0x0>
gap> z = DirectSum(z,z);
true

Define a HomAlg matrix \(\varphi\).

gap> phi := HomalgMatrix( [ 0, 1, 0,  0, 0, 1,  1, 0, 0 ], 3, 3, Q );
<A 3 x 3 matrix over an internal ring>

Finally construct a functor from \(B\) to \(A\) that sends the unique object \(1\) of \(B\) to the natural number 3 (representing a \(\mathbb{Q}\)-vector space of dimension 3) and the morphism \(t\) in \(B\) to the morphism induced by \(\varphi\). We call this functor again \(V\).

gap> V := AsObjectInFunctorCategory( H, [ 3 ], [ phi ] );
<(1)->3; (t)->3x3>

Check whether \(V\) is well-defined.

gap> IsWellDefined( V );
true

The image of the object \(1\) is the 3-dimensional \(\mathbb{Q}\)-vector space.

gap> V( B.1 );
<A vector space object over Q of dimension 3>

A representation of the category C3C3 is another way to encode a module homomorphism between two modules over the cyclic group \(C_3\) of order \(3\): The vector space underlying the first module is the given by the value of (1). The action of \(C_3\) on the first module is given by the value of (a). The vector space underlying the second module is the given by the value of (2). The action on the second module is given by the value of (c). The above relation of the quiver states that the value of (b) is a module homomorphism from the first to the second \(C_3\)-module.
