nerve functor
- Notation:
- Domain: category of small categories
- Codomain: category of simplicial sets
- nLab Link
The nerve of a small category is the simplicial set whose -simplices are chains of morphisms . Among other things, it provides an example of a fully faithful functor that does not preserve regular epimorphisms.
