9.4.1 Isomorphisms

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

Definition 9.4.1.1.1 ▶ Isomorphisms

A morphism $f\colon A\to B$ of $\mathcal{C}$ is an isomorphism if there exists a morphism $\smash {f^{-1}\colon B\to A}$ of $\mathcal{C}$ such that

\begin{align*} f\circ f^{-1} & = \text{id}_{B},\\ f^{-1}\circ f & = \text{id}_{A}. \end{align*}

Notation 9.4.1.1.2 ▶ The Set of Isomorphisms Between Two Objects in a Category

We write $\textup{Iso}_{\mathcal{C}}\webleft (A,B\webright )$ for the set of all isomorphisms in $\mathcal{C}$ from $A$ to $B$.
