Linear endofunctors of finite-dimensional vector spaces #
A linear endofunctor of finite-dimensional vector spaces has a canonical evaluation map
F(k) ⊗ V → F(V).
It sends x ⊗ v to the image of x under F applied to the linear map
k → V, a ↦ a • v. This is the natural comparison needed to upgrade the
finite-string detector calculation at the ground field to a natural
functorial statement.
A vector, regarded as the linear map from the ground field which sends
1 to that vector.
Instances For
The bilinear evaluation pairing associated to a linear endofunctor.
Instances For
The canonical evaluation map F(k) ⊗ V → F(V) of a linear
endofunctor.
Instances For
Evaluation is natural in the finite-dimensional coefficient space.
Instances For
A basis coordinate, bundled as a morphism to the ground field.
Instances For
The rank-one maps supplied by a finite basis sum to the identity.
A basis-dependent right inverse to the basis-free evaluation map. Its only role is to prove that evaluation is an isomorphism.
Instances For
The basis section is a right inverse of the canonical evaluation map.
The canonical evaluation map of an additive linear endofunctor is bijective on every finite-dimensional vector space.
Finite-dimensional Eilenberg--Watts over a field: an additive linear endofunctor is naturally isomorphic to tensoring with its value on the ground field.
