Representable functor

A functor F : \cat C \to \Set is representable iff it is naturally isomorphic to the fixed-domain Hom-functor β„ŽπΆ =𝖒(𝐢, βˆ’) for some object 𝐢 βˆˆπ–’ cat

\begin{align*} \eta: h_{C} \Rightarrow F : \cat C \to \Set \end{align*}

whence (𝐢,πœ‚) is called a representation of 𝐹.
