full on isomorphisms

A functor $F : \C \to \D$ is full on isomorphisms when, for every pair of objects $A,B \in \C$, every isomorphism $F(A) \to F(B)$ is induced by an isomorphism $A \to B$.

• Dual property: full on isomorphisms (self-dual)
• Related properties: conservative, essentially injective, full

Relevant implications

• conservative andfull implies full on isomorphisms
• full on isomorphisms implies essentially injective
• pseudomonic is equivalent to faithful andfull on isomorphisms
• () implies full on isomorphisms
