Dominant functor

In category theory, an abstract branch of mathematics, a dominant functor is a functor F : C → D in which every object of D is a retract of an object of the form F(x) for some object X of C.{{citation|journal=Applied Categorical Structures|date=March 2014|title=On normal tensor functors and coset decompositions for fusion categories|first1=A.|last1=Bruguières|first2=Sebastian|last2=Burciu|doi=10.1007/s10485-014-9371-x|arxiv=1210.3922}}. In other words, F is dominant if for every object d \in D, there is an object c \in C together with morphisms r\colon F(c) \to d and s\colon d \to F(c) such that s \circ r=\operatorname{id}_{d}.
