class MndToCat
Definition	df-mndtc 50011	Definition of the function converting a monoid to a category. Example 3.3(4.e) of [Adamek] p. 24. The definition of the base set is arbitrary. The whole extensible structure becomes the object here (see mndtcbasval 50013), instead of just the base set, as is the case in Example 3.3(4.e) of [Adamek] p. 24. The resulting category is defined entirely, up to isomorphism, by mndtcbas 50014, mndtchom 50017, mndtcco 50018. Use those instead. See example 3.26(3) of [Adamek] p. 33 for more on isomorphism. "MndToCat" was taken instead of "MndCat" because the latter might mean the category of monoids. (Contributed by Zhi Wang, 22-Sep-2024.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Definition	df-lan 50040*	Definition of the (local) left Kan extension. Given a functor 𝐹:𝐶⟶𝐷 and a functor 𝑋:𝐶⟶𝐸, the set (𝐹(⟨𝐶, 𝐷⟩ Lan 𝐸)𝑋) consists of left Kan extensions of 𝑋 along 𝐹, which are universal pairs from 𝑋 to the pre-composition functor given by 𝐹 (lanval2 50060). See also § 3 of Chapter X in p. 240 of Mac Lane, Saunders, Categories for the Working Mathematician, 2nd Edition, Springer Science+Business Media, New York, (1998) [QA169.M33 1998]; available at https://math.mit.edu/~hrm/palestine/maclane-categories.pdf 50060 (retrieved 3 Nov 2025). A left Kan extension is in the form of ⟨𝐿, 𝐴⟩ where the first component is a functor 𝐿:𝐷⟶𝐸 (lanrcl4 50067) and the second component is a natural transformation 𝐴:𝑋⟶𝐿𝐹 (lanrcl5 50068) where 𝐿𝐹 is the composed functor. Intuitively, the first component 𝐿 can be regarded as the result of an "inverse" of pre-composition; the source category of 𝑋:𝐶⟶𝐸 is "extended" along 𝐹:𝐶⟶𝐷. The left Kan extension is a generalization of many categorical concepts such as colimit. In § 7 of Chapter X of Categories for the Working Mathematician, it is concluded that "the notion of Kan extensions subsumes all the other fundamental concepts of category theory". This definition was chosen over the other version in the commented out section due to its better reverse closure property. See df-ran 50041 for the dual concept.

Definition	df-ran 50041*	Definition of the (local) right Kan extension.

The definition in § 3 of Chapter X in p. 236 of Mac Lane, Saunders, Categories for the Working Mathematician, 2nd Edition, Springer Science+Business Media, New York, (1998) [QA169.M33 1998]; available at https://math.mit.edu/~hrm/palestine/maclane-categories.pdf 50063 (retrieved 3 Nov 2025). A right Kan extension is in the form of ⟨𝐿, 𝐴⟩ where the first component is a functor 𝐿:𝐷⟶𝐸 (ranrcl4 50072) and the second component is a natural transformation 𝐴:𝐿𝐹⟶𝑋 (ranrcl5 50073) where 𝐿𝐹 is the composed functor. Intuitively, the first component 𝐿 can be regarded as the result of an "inverse" of pre-composition; the source category of 𝑋:𝐶⟶𝐸 is "extended" along 𝐹:𝐶⟶𝐷.

Definition	df-lmd 50078*	A diagram of type 𝐷 or a 𝐷-shaped diagram in a category 𝐶, is a functor 𝐹:𝐷⟶𝐶 where the source category 𝐷, usually small or even finite, is called the index category or the scheme of the diagram. The actual objects and morphisms in 𝐷 are largely irrelevant; only the way in which they are interrelated matters. The diagram is thought of as indexing a collection of objects and morphisms in 𝐶 patterned on 𝐷. Definition 11.1(1) of [Adamek] p. 193. A cone to a diagram, or a natural source for a diagram in a category 𝐶 is a pair of an object 𝑋 in 𝐶 and a natural transformation from the constant functor (or constant diagram) of the object 𝑋 to the diagram. The second component associates each object in the index category with a morphism in 𝐶 whose domain is 𝑋 (concl 50094). The naturality guarantees that the combination of the diagram with the cone must commute (concom 50096). Definition 11.3(1) of [Adamek] p. 193. A limit of a diagram 𝐹:𝐷⟶𝐶 of type 𝐷 in category 𝐶 is a universal pair from the diagonal functor (𝐶Δfunc𝐷) to the diagram. The universal pair is a cone to the diagram satisfying the universal property, that each cone to the diagram uniquely factors through the limit (islmd 50098). Definition 11.3(2) of [Adamek] p. 194. Terminal objects (termolmd 50103), products, equalizers, pullbacks, and inverse limits can be considered as limits of some diagram; limits can be further generalized as right Kan extensions (lmdran 50104). "lmd" is short for "limit of a diagram". See df-cmd 50079 for the dual concept (lmddu 50100, cmddu 50101). (Contributed by Zhi Wang, 12-Nov-2025.)

Definition	df-cmd 50079*	A co-cone (or cocone) to a diagram (see df-lmd 50078 for definition), or a natural sink for a diagram in a category 𝐶 is a pair of an object 𝑋 in 𝐶 and a natural transformation from the diagram to the constant functor (or constant diagram) of the object 𝑋. The second component associates each object in the index category with a morphism in 𝐶 whose codomain is 𝑋 (coccl 50095). The naturality guarantees that the combination of the diagram with the co-cone must commute (coccom 50097). Definition 11.27(1) of [Adamek] p. 202. A colimit of a diagram 𝐹:𝐷⟶𝐶 of type 𝐷 in category 𝐶 is a universal pair from the diagram to the diagonal functor (𝐶Δfunc𝐷). The universal pair is a co-cone to the diagram satisfying the universal property, that each co-cone to the diagram uniquely factors through the colimit. (iscmd 50099). Definition 11.27(2) of [Adamek] p. 202. Initial objects (initocmd 50102), coproducts, coequalizers, pushouts, and direct limits can be considered as colimits of some diagram; colimits can be further generalized as left Kan extensions (cmdlan 50105). "cmd" is short for "colimit of a diagram". See df-lmd 50078 for the dual concept (lmddu 50100, cmddu 50101). (Contributed by Zhi Wang, 12-Nov-2025.)
