Note the two different symbols $\cong$ and $\simeq$. The first is about equivalences, the second about invertible gadgets. === Idea === This is like [[equivalence of categories]], except the natural transformations are not just required to exist but must be concretely specified. As such, this is a subset of [[my nice nats]]. === Reference === Wikipedia: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_of_categories|Equivalence of categories]] nLab: [[http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/equivalence+of+categories|Equivalence of categories]], [[http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/principle+of+equivalence|Principle of equivalence]] ==== Parents ==== === Context === [[Categories]] === Subset of === [[My nice nats]] === Refinement of === [[Equivalence of categories]] === Requirements === [[Natural isomorphism]]
