11.8.7 Functors Corepresentably Faithful on Cores

Let $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ be categories.

Definition 11.8.7.1.1 ▶ Functors Corepresentably Faithful on Cores

A functor $F\colon \mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ is corepresentably faithful on cores if, for each $X\in \operatorname {\mathrm{Obj}}(\mathsf{Cats})$, the postcomposition by $F$ functor

\[ F_{*}\colon \mathsf{Core}(\mathsf{Fun}(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{C}))\to \mathsf{Core}(\mathsf{Fun}(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{D})) \]

is faithful.

Remark 11.8.7.1.2 ▶ Unwinding Definition 11.8.7.1.1

In detail, a functor $F\colon \mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ is corepresentably faithful on cores if, given a diagram of the form

if $\alpha $ and $\beta $ are natural isomorphisms and we have

\[ \alpha \mathbin {\star }\operatorname {\mathrm{id}}_{F}=\beta \mathbin {\star }\operatorname {\mathrm{id}}_{F}, \]

then $\alpha =\beta $.
