category of Z-functors

  • Notation: [CRing,Set][\CRing, \Set]
  • Objects: Z-functors, i.e. functors from commutative rings to sets
  • Morphisms: natural transformations
  • Related categories: SchR\Sch_RSet\Set

This category is used in functorial algebraic geometry. It also provides a typical example of a functor category that is not locally small, but nevertheless relevant. Most of its properties are directly derived from the category of sets, so other functor categories [C,Set][\C, \Set] for large categories C\C will be similar.
