Topic: Representable natural transformations


Trebor Huang (Jul 22 2023 at 10:49):

A representable natural transformation π:EB\pi : E\to B between two presheaves is such that for every a:y(X)Ba : y(X) \to B, the pullback is again representable.

I'm using this in my project, and I think mathlib doesn't have this yet. What's the right generality to set this up? A brief scan of literature suggests the slightly more general definition: replace the Yoneda embedding with an arbitrary full subcategory CD\mathcal C \hookrightarrow \mathcal D, and call a morphism in D\mathcal D to be relatively representable w.r.t. C\mathcal C.
