= Brown's representability theorem
{wiki=Brown's_representability_theorem}
Brown's representability theorem is a result in category theory, specifically in the context of homological algebra and the study of functors. It provides criteria for when a covariant functor from a category of topological spaces (or more generally, from a category of 'nice' spaces) to the category of sets can be represented as the set of morphisms from a single object in a certain category. More precisely, the theorem addresses contravariant functors from topological spaces to sets.
