A note on fixed points of endofunctors

In this note, we deal with the fixed points of an endofunctor $F: $\mathcal{C}$ \longrightarrow $\mathcal{C}$$. Three classes of fixed points are introduced, and the case when $F$ is an endomorphism of a category with pretopology is investigated. We show existence of induced structures on the category of fixed points, and, when a pretopology is defined, give a characterization of fixed points in terms of sheaf cohomology on $\mathcal{C}$.
