Definition
A 2-category has three different opposites (two independent):
- The -cell dual , in which the -cells but not the -cells are reversed.
- The -cell dual , in which the -cells but not the -cells are reversed.
- The - and -cell dual in which both -cells and -cells are reversed.
Interaction with 2-functor 2-categories
The category 2-Cat is cartesian closed, with the exponential being given by the 2-functor 2-category whose objects are (strict) 2-functors from to , whose 1-cells are 2-natural transformations, and whose 2-cells are modifications.
