View on Github →feat(CategoryTheory): the left Kan extension functor (#12168)
Given a functor F : C ⥤ D
, we define the left Kan extension functor F.lan : (C ⥤ E) ⥤ (D ⥤ E)
which sends a functor G : C ⥤ E
to its left Kan extension along F
. (This is a step towards the refactor of Lan/Ran
in mathlib using the new API for Kan extensions of functors #10425.)
