comment What is the difference between a function and a morphism?
Don't you really mean "whose domain is $A$ and range $B$" ? (then, of course, you have to think of the objects of your category as sets). But of course, the answer is negative, as different morphisms can correspond to the same function.

comment Toroidality testing
Well, you can check if they dont have as minor one of the 16000 already known obstructions (for not too large graphs, this is less absurd than it sounds...)

comment Examples of “exotic” induction
"Proofs from the Book" gives the nice ($P(1)$ and ($P(n)$ implies $P(2n)$) and ($P(n)$ implies $P(n−1)$)) implies $\forall n, P(n)$ as a way to prove the general inequality between geometric and arithmetic mean (due to Artin, or perhaps Cauchy) – Feldmann Denis 0 secs ago

comment Have discovered a recursive formula for Prime Density - is this known?
Something is very wrong here.If any formula of this shape was correct, it would give a fast way to calculate $\pi(x)$. Check it for not too small values of $n$...

comment Are grothendieck universes enough for the foundations of category theory?
Actually, the Grothendieck axiom of universe U is much stronger than existence of a strongly inaccessible cardinal, being equivalent to the exoistence of a proper class of inaccessibles (but it is weaker than the existence of a 1-inaccessible cardinal)

comment Counterpart of Weierstrass theorem
And I cannot resist to add a reference to the <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_line"; rel="nofollow">long line</a>, locally isomorphic to R, sequentially compact, but not compact.
