Definition

The reverse monoidal category of a monoidal category, 𝒞\mathcal{C}, has the same underlying category and unit as 𝒞\mathcal{C} but reversed monoidal product, X revY=YXX \otimes^{rev} Y = Y \otimes X, and similarly for tensors of morphisms. The associator in the reverse category is α X,Y,Z rev=α Z,Y,X 1\alpha^{rev}_{X,Y,Z} = \alpha^{-1}_{Z,Y,X}.

We have Σ(V rev)(ΣV) op\Sigma(V^{rev})\simeq(\Sigma V)^{op} where ΣV\Sigma V is the delooping of VV, i.e. VV viewed as a one-object bicategory where op{op} is the opposite on 1-cells.

Note that this notion is different from that of the opposite category, which involves reversing the order of the arrows.
