A left bilinear morphism of pointed sets from $\webleft (X\times Y,\webleft (x_{0},y_{0}\webright )\webright )$ to $\webleft (Z,z_{0}\webright )$ is a map of sets

\[ f \colon X\times Y \to Z \]

satisfying the following condition:[1][2]

  • Left Unital Bilinearity. The diagram

    commutes, i.e. for each $y\in Y$, we have

    \[ f\webleft (x_{0},y\webright ) = z_{0}. \]


Footnotes

[1] Slogan: The map $f$ is left bilinear if it preserves basepoints in its first argument.
[2] Succinctly, $f$ is bilinear if we have
\[ f\webleft (x_{0},y\webright ) = z_{0} \]
for each $y\in Y$.
