Let $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ be categories and $F,G\colon \mathcal{C}\rightrightarrows \mathcal{D}$ be functors.

A transformation^[1] $\smash {\alpha \colon F\Rightarrow G}$ from $F$ to $G$ is a collection

\[ \webleft\{ \alpha _{A}\colon F\webleft (A\webright )\to G\webleft (A\webright )\webright\} _{A\in \text{Obj}\webleft (\mathcal{C}\webright )} \]

of morphisms of $\mathcal{D}$.

We write $\text{Trans}\webleft (F,G\webright )$ for the set of transformations from $F$ to $G$.
