simple-group probing functor
- Notation:
- Domain: category of groups
- Codomain: category of sets
This functor maps a group to the collection where ranges over all infinite cardinals and is an infinite simple group of cardinality ; we choose to make things concrete. For each , the collection is isomorphic to a set, since for every homomorphism is trivial. Thus, a more precise definition would be but the first definition makes it more apparent that is a functor. This is the canonical example of a continuous functor that is not representable, and not a right adjoint.
