For x, y [member of] [OMEGA] one can show that functor [d.sub.R] defined by
We write q to denote both a formal variable and a degree shift functor which shifts the degree by 1.
The function F : (L, M)-DFIL [right arrow] (L, M)-DFTOP defined by [mathematical expression not reproducible] and F([phi]) = [phi] is a functor.
which alleviates the functor problem, then then the reasoner finds a quick proof in the order of 0.2 seconds.
Note that the projection [[pi].sub.1]: G(G,X,[alpha]) [right arrow] G, given by [[pi].sub.1](g,x) = g is a functor from the category G(G,X,[alpha]) to the category G viewed as a small category with one object and whose arrows are the elements of the group.

(ii) exponential objects exist in A, i.e., for each A-object A, the functor A x -: A [right arrow] A has a right adjoint, i.e., for any A-object B, there exist an A-object [B.sup.A] and an A-morphism [e.sub.A,B]: A x [B.sub.A] [right arrow] B (called the evaluation) such that for any A-object C and any A-morphism f: A x C [right arrow] B, there exists a unique A-morphism [bar.f]: C [right arrow] [B.sub.A] such that [e.sub.A,B] [omicron] ([id.sub.A] x [bar.f]) = f, i.e., the diagram commutes:
