corepresentable functor

A functor CSet is corepresentable if it is (isomorphic to) a functor of the form Hom C(c,) for some object cC.

This is equivalently a representable functor defined on the opposite category C op. Often no terminological distinction is made between representable and corepresentable ones (both being called simply “representable”), since a functor CSet can only be “corepresentable” while a functor C opSet can only be “representable”.
