Covariant
The (covariant) power set functor $\PP: \mathbf{Set} \to \mathbf{Set}$ is the covariant functor which sends:
- An object $x$ to its power set $\powerset x$.
- A morphism $f: x \to y$ to the direct image mapping $\powerset f: \powerset x \to \powerset y$.
Contravariant
The contravariant power set functor $\overline \PP: \mathbf{Set} \to \mathbf{Set}$ is the contravariant functor which sends:
- An object $x$ to its power set $\powerset x$.
- A morphism $f : x \to y$ to the inverse image mapping $\map {\overline \PP} f : \powerset y \to \powerset x$.
