forgetful functor from finite sets to sets
- Notation:
- Domain: category of finite sets
- Codomain: category of sets
- Related functors: ,
This functor is the inclusion functor mapping a finite set to itself. It can also be regarded as a forgetful functor since it makes finite sets "forget" their finiteness. The functor is a basic example of a representable functor which is not a right adjoint.
