Relations between Cone
, WithTerminal
and Over
#
Given categories C
and J
, an object X : C
and a functor K : J ⥤ Over X
,
it has an obvious lift liftFromOver K : WithTerminal J ⥤ C
, namely, send the terminal
object to X
. These two functors have equivalent categories of cones (coneEquiv
).
As a corollary, the limit of K
is the limit of liftFromOver K
, and viceversa.
The category of functors J ⥤ Over X
can be seen as part of a comma category,
namely the comma category constructed from the identity of the category of functors
J ⥤ C
and the functor that maps X : C
to the constant functor J ⥤ C
.
Given a functor K : J ⥤ Over X
, it is mapped to a natural transformation from the
obvious functor J ⥤ C
to the constant functor X
.

Given a functor K : J ⥤ Over X
and its extension liftFromOver K : WithTerminal J ⥤ C
,
there is an obvious equivalence between cones of these two functors.
A cone of K
is an object of Over X
, so it has the form t ⟶ X
.
Equivalently, a cone of WithTerminal K
is an object t : C
,
and we can recover the structure morphism as π.app X : t ⟶ X
.
