Idea

A map from a (small) precategory C to a large precategory D consists of:

  • a map F₀ : C → D on objects at a chosen universe level γ,
  • a map F₁ : hom x y → hom (F₀ x) (F₀ y) on morphisms.

Definition

module _
  {l1 l2 : Level} {α : Level → Level} {β : Level → Level → Level}
  (C : Precategory l1 l2) (D : Large-Precategory α β)
  where

  map-Small-Large-Precategory : (γ : Level) → UU (l1 ⊔ l2 ⊔ α γ ⊔ β γ γ)
  map-Small-Large-Precategory γ =
    map-Precategory C (precategory-Large-Precategory D γ)

  obj-map-Small-Large-Precategory :
    {γ : Level} → map-Small-Large-Precategory γ →
    obj-Precategory C → obj-Large-Precategory D γ
  obj-map-Small-Large-Precategory {γ} =
    obj-map-Precategory C (precategory-Large-Precategory D γ)

    {γ : Level} →
    (F : map-Small-Large-Precategory γ) →
    { X Y : obj-Precategory C} →
    hom-Precategory C X Y →
    hom-Large-Precategory D
      ( obj-map-Small-Large-Precategory F X)
      ( obj-map-Small-Large-Precategory F Y)

    hom-map-Precategory C (precategory-Large-Precategory D γ)
