Groups as categories
Recall that to any group we can associate a category
- Show there is a correspondence[1] between groups and one-object categories in which every arrow is invertible.
- Suppose
and are groups. Show that group morphisms correspond[2] to functors . - Recall that a permutation representation of
is a group morphism , where is the permutation group on a set . Show that permutation representations of correspond to functors . - Suppose
are group morphisms, with corresponding functors . Show there is a natural transformation if and only if and are conjugate, i.e., there is an element such that for all .
