Hom-sets are collections of morphisms between two objects in a category, capturing the idea of how one object can map to another. They provide a way to study the relationships between objects and form a crucial part of the categorical structure, allowing us to understand morphisms as arrows that connect objects. Hom-sets are particularly important when discussing exponential objects and evaluation morphisms, as they help define how these constructs interact within a category.
congrats on reading the definition of hom-sets. now let's actually learn it.
