Functoriality of functor composition🔗
When the operation of functor composition, is seen as happening not only to functors but to whole functor categories, then it is itself functorial. This is a bit mind-bending at first, but this module will construct the functor composition functors. There’s actually a family of three related functors we’re interested in:
- The functor composition functor itself, having type
- The precomposition functor associated with any
which will be denoted
in TeX and
precomposein Agda; - The postcomposition functor associated with any
which will be denoted
In the code, that’s
postcompose.
Note that the precomposition functor is necessarily “contravariant” when compared with in that it points in the opposite direction to
private variable o ℓ : Level A B C C' D D' E E' : Precategory o ℓ F G H K L M : Functor C D α β γ : F => G
We start by defining the action of the composition functor on morphisms: given a pair of natural transformations as in the following diagram, we define their horizontal composition as a natural transformation
Note that there are two ways to do so, but they are equal by naturality of

Before setting up the pre/post-composition functors, we define their action on morphisms, called whiskerings: these are special cases of horizontal composition where one of the natural transformations is the identity, so defining them directly saves us one application of the unit laws. The mnemonic for triangles is that the base points towards the side that does not change, so in (e.g.) the is unchanging: this expression has type as long as
With the composition functor already defined, defining and is easy:
module _ (p : Functor C C') where precompose : Functor Cat[ C' , D ] Cat[ C , D ] precompose = Bifunctor.Left F∘-functor p postcompose : Functor Cat[ D , C ] Cat[ D , C' ] postcompose = Bifunctor.Right F∘-functor p
We also remark that horizontal composition obeys a very handy interchange law.
