(f g).hom = f.hom g.hom

The core of a category is naturally included in the category.

Equations

A functor from a groupoid to a category C factors through the core of C.

Equations

We can functorially associate to any functor from a groupoid to the core of a category C, a functor from the groupoid to C, simply by composing with the embedding core C ⥤ C.
