11.1.8 Representably Conservative Morphisms

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a bicategory.

Definition 11.1.8.1.1 ▶ Representably Conservative Morphisms

A $1$-morphism $f\colon A\to B$ of $\mathcal{C}$ is representably conservative if, for each $X\in \text{Obj}\webleft (\mathcal{C}\webright )$, the functor

\[ f_{*}\colon \mathsf{Hom}_{\mathcal{C}}\webleft (X,A\webright )\to \mathsf{Hom}_{\mathcal{C}}\webleft (X,B\webright ) \]

given by postcomposition by $f$ is conservative.

Remark 11.1.8.1.2 ▶ Unwinding Definition 11.1.8.1.1

In detail, $f$ is representably conservative if, for each pair of morphisms $\phi ,\psi \colon X\rightrightarrows A$ and each $2$-morphism

of $\mathcal{C}$, if the $2$-morphism

is a $2$-isomorphism, then so is $\alpha $.
