Isomorphism of categories

An isomorphism of categories 𝖢,𝖣 is a functor 𝐹 :𝖢 𝖣 with a proper inverse 𝐹1 :𝖣 𝖢 such that 𝐹1𝐹 =1𝖢 and 𝐹𝐹1 =1𝖣. #m/def/cat/evil The categories 𝖢 and 𝖣 are thence said to be isomorphic, denoted 𝖢 𝖣. This is usually too strong, and more typically one deals with the weaker Equivalence of categories 𝖢 𝖣.
