category of Z-functors
- notation:
- objects: Z-functors, i.e. functors from commutative rings to sets
- morphisms: natural transformations
- Related categories: ,
This category is used in functorial algebraic geometry. It also provides a typical example of a functor category that is not locally small, but nevertheless relevant. Most of its properties are directly derived from the category of sets, so other functor categories for large categories will be similar.

Special morphisms
Isomorphisms: natural isomorphisms
This is true for all functor categories.- Monomorphisms: objectwise injective natural transformations
Epimorphisms: objectwise surjective natural transformations
This holds in every functor category , here applied to the case that has just one object.
