The Kan extension functor #
Given a functor L : C ⥤ D
, we define the left Kan extension functor
L.lan : (C ⥤ H) ⥤ (D ⥤ H)
which sends a functor F : C ⥤ H
to its
left Kan extension along L
. This is defined if all F
have such
a left Kan extension. It is shown that L.lan
is the left adjoint to
the functor (D ⥤ H) ⥤ (C ⥤ H)
given by the precomposition
with L
(see Functor.lanAdjunction
).
Similarly, we define the right Kan extension functor
L.ran : (C ⥤ H) ⥤ (D ⥤ H)
which sends a functor F : C ⥤ H
to its
right Kan extension along L
.
The left Kan extension functor (C ⥤ H) ⥤ (D ⥤ H)
along a functor C ⥤ D
.
