9.8.1 Injective on Objects Functors

Let $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ be categories.

A functor $F\colon \mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ is injective on objects if the action on objects

\[ F\colon \text{Obj}\webleft (\mathcal{C}\webright )\to \text{Obj}\webleft (\mathcal{D}\webright ) \]

of $F$ is injective.

Let $F\colon \mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ be a functor.

  1. Characterisations. The following conditions are equivalent:
    1. The functor $F$ is injective on objects.
    2. The functor $F$ is an isocofibration in $\mathsf{Cats}_{\mathsf{2}}$.

Item 1: Characterisations
Omitted.
