category of Z-functors

  • notation: [CRing,Set][\mathbf{CRing}, \mathbf{Set}]
  • objects: Z-functors, i.e. functors from commutative rings to sets
  • morphisms: natural transformations
  • Related categories: Sch\mathbf{Sch}Set\mathbf{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][\mathbf{C}, \mathbf{Set}] for large categories C\mathbf{C} will be similar.
