Difference between Category theory and Strict 2-category

Category theory vs. Strict 2-category

Category theory formalizes mathematical structure and its concepts in terms of a labeled directed graph called a category, whose nodes are called objects, and whose labelled directed edges are called arrows (or morphisms). In category theory, a strict 2-category is a category with "morphisms between morphisms", that is, where each hom-set itself carries the structure of a category.

Similarities between Category theory and Strict 2-category

Category theory and Strict 2-category have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bicategory, Category (mathematics), Enriched category, Functor, Higher category theory, Monoidal category, Morphism, Topos, William Lawvere.

Bicategory

In mathematics, a bicategory (or a weak 2-category) is a concept in category theory used to extend the notion of category to handle the cases where the composition of morphisms is not (strictly) associative, but only associative up to an isomorphism.

Category (mathematics)

In mathematics, a category (sometimes called an abstract category to distinguish it from a concrete category) is an algebraic structure similar to a group but without requiring inverse or closure properties.

Enriched category

In category theory, a branch of mathematics, an enriched category generalizes the idea of a category by replacing hom-sets with objects from a general monoidal category.

Functor

In mathematics, a functor is a map between categories.

Higher category theory

In mathematics, higher category theory is the part of category theory at a higher order, which means that some equalities are replaced by explicit arrows in order to be able to explicitly study the structure behind those equalities.

Monoidal category

In mathematics, a monoidal category (or tensor category) is a category C equipped with a bifunctor that is associative up to a natural isomorphism, and an object I that is both a left and right identity for ⊗, again up to a natural isomorphism.

Morphism

In mathematics, a morphism is a structure-preserving map from one mathematical structure to another one of the same type.

Topos

In mathematics, a topos (plural topoi or, or toposes) is a category that behaves like the category of sheaves of sets on a topological space (or more generally: on a site).
