In mathematics, specifically in category theory, the Yoneda lemma is an abstract result on functors of the type morphisms into a fixed object.

The Yoneda lemma suggests that instead of studying the ( locally small ) category C, one should study the category of all functors of C into Set ( the category of sets with functions as morphisms ).

The natural transformations from a representable functor to an arbitrary functor are completely known and easy to describe ; this is the content of the Yoneda lemma.

The question of points was close to resolution by 1950 ; Alexander Grothendieck took a sweeping step ( appealing to the Yoneda lemma ) that disposed of it — naturally at a cost, that every variety or more general scheme should become a functor.

* Yoneda lemma –

The analogue in category theory is the Yoneda lemma.

The embedding of the category C in a functor category that was mentioned earlier uses the Yoneda lemma as its main tool.

The Yoneda lemma states that the assignment

Typical instances are arguments involving diagram chasing, application of the definition of universal property, definition of natural transformations between functors, use of the Yoneda lemma, arguments exploiting classifying spaces, and so on.

The Yoneda lemma in category theory is named after him.

By the Yoneda lemma, the n-simplices of a simplicial set X are classified by natural transformations in hom ( Δ < sup > n </ sup >, X ).< ref >

Specifically, consider, then the Yoneda lemma gives

Cohomology of CW complexes is representable by an Eilenberg-MacLane space, so by the Yoneda lemma a cohomology operation of type is given by a homotopy class of maps.

It combines, though, with the use of the Yoneda lemma to replace the ' point ' idea with that of treating an object, such as S, as ' as good as ' the representable functor it sets up.

Let F be a functor from the category of ringed spaces to the category of sets, and let G ⊆ F. Suppose that this inclusion morphism G → F is representable by open immersions, i. e., for any representable functor Hom (−, X ) and any morphism Hom (−, X )→ F, the fibered product G ×< sub > F </ sub > Hom (−, X ) is a representable functor Hom (−, Y ) and the morphism Y → X defined by the Yoneda lemma is an open immersion.

The ( unique ) representable functor F: → is the Cayley representation of G. In fact, this functor is isomorphic to and so sends to the set which is by definition the " set " G and the morphism g of ( i. e. the element g of G ) to the permutation F < sub > g </ sub > of the set G. We deduce from the Yoneda embedding that the group G is isomorphic to the group

It is named after Nobuo Yoneda.

This axiomatic system is useful to prove for example that every category has an appropriate Yoneda embedding.

The Yoneda Lemma states that is fully faithful and we also get the left exactness very easily because is already left exact.

* a functor from schemes over S to the category of groups, such that composition with the forgetful functor to sets is equivalent to the presheaf corresponding to G under the Yoneda embedding.

Yoneda arrived at Manzanar on March 22, 1942, one of the first Japanese Americans to arrive as a volunteer to build the camp.

By composing this with the Yoneda embedding Y: C → Set < sup > C < sup > op </ sup ></ sup > one obtains a faithful functor C → Set.

* every category embeds in a functor category ( via the Yoneda embedding ); the functor category often has nicer properties than the original category, allowing certain operations that were not available in the original setting.

The same can be carried out for any preadditive category C: Yoneda then yields a full embedding of C into the functor category Add ( C < sup > op </ sup >, Ab ).

Here Mr. Yoneda met us after a three-hour train trip from the town where he teaches.

At Osaka, Mr. Yoneda had to leave us to get the train to his home, but Mr. Nishima and I had an hour and a half before train time to see Osaka at night.

* Karl Yoneda was born in Glendale, California, on July 15, 1906, but his family moved back to Japan in 1913.

With Japan on a path towards war, Yoneda returned to the United States rather than be drafted into the Japanese Army.

Yoneda later moved to Los Angeles, where he found work organizing with the Trade Union Educational League, and later the Japanese Workers ' Association.

Yoneda later distinguished himself in service to the US, volunteering to serve in the Military Intelligence Service.

After the war, Yoneda continued to support progressive causes and civil and human rights issues.

The inner automorphisms form a normal subgroup of Aut ( G ), denoted by Inn ( G ); this is called Goursat's lemma.

Using Zorn's lemma, it can be shown that every field has an algebraic closure, and that the algebraic closure of a field K is unique up to an isomorphism that fixes every member of K. Because of this essential uniqueness, we often speak of the algebraic closure of K, rather than an algebraic closure of K.

Bézout's identity ( also called Bezout's lemma ) is a theorem in the elementary theory of numbers: let a and b be integers, not both zero, and let d be their greatest common divisor.

Bézout's lemma is true in any principal ideal domain, but there are integral domains in which it is not true.

Bézout's lemma is a consequence of the Euclidean division defining property, namely that the division by a nonzero integer b has a remainder strictly less than | b |.

One of these, Itō's lemma, expresses the composite of an Itō process ( or more generally a semimartingale ) dX < sub > t </ sub > with a twice-differentiable function f. In Itō's lemma, the derivative of the composite function depends not only on dX < sub > t </ sub > and the derivative of f but also on the second derivative of f. The dependence on the second derivative is a consequence of the non-zero quadratic variation of the stochastic process, which broadly speaking means that the process can move up and down in a very rough way.

Furthermore, if b < sub > 1 </ sub > and b < sub > 2 </ sub > are both coprime with a, then so is their product b < sub > 1 </ sub > b < sub > 2 </ sub > ( modulo a it is a product of invertible elements, and therefore invertible ); this also follows from the first point by Euclid's lemma, which states that if a prime number p divides a product bc, then p divides at least one of the factors b, c.

Their intersection is, which can be shown to be non-context-free by the pumping lemma for context-free languages.

* To prove that a given language is not context-free, one may employ the pumping lemma for context-free languages or a number of other methods, such as Ogden's lemma, Parikh's theorem, or using closure properties.

In general, if R is a ring and S is a simple module over R, then, by Schur's lemma, the endomorphism ring of S is a division ring ; every division ring arises in this fashion from some simple module.

One lemma states that the difference of the cubes of two rational numbers is equal to the sum of the cubes of two other rational numbers, i. e. given any a and b, with a > b, there exist c and d, all positive and rational, such that

Euclid's classical lemma can be rephrased as " in the ring of integers every irreducible is prime ".

Weak König's lemma is provable in ZF, the system of Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory without axiom of choice, and thus the completeness and compactness theorems for countable languages are provable in ZF.

However the situation is different when the language is of arbitrary large cardinality since then, though the completeness and compactness theorems remain provably equivalent to each other in ZF, they are also provably equivalent to a weak form of the axiom of choice known as the ultrafilter lemma.

All the different forms of the same verb constitute a lexeme and the form of the verb that is conventionally used to represent the canonical form of the verb ( one as seen in dictionary entries ) is a lemma.

In mathematics, the Hausdorff maximal principle is an alternate and earlier formulation of Zorn's lemma proved by Felix Hausdorff in 1914 ( Moore 1982: 168 ).
