Opposite bicategories #
We construct the 1-cell opposite of a bicategory B, called Bᵒᵖ. It is defined as follows
- The objects of
Bᵒᵖcorrespond to objects ofB. - The morphisms
X ⟶ YinBᵒᵖare the morphismsY ⟶ XinB. - The 2-morphisms
f ⟶ ginBᵒᵖare the 2-morphismsf ⟶ ginB. In other words, the directions of the 2-morphisms are preserved.
Remarks #
There are multiple notions of opposite categories for bicategories.
- There is 1-cell dual
Bᵒᵖas defined above. - There is the 2-cell dual,
Cᶜᵒwhere only the 2-morphisms are reversed - There is the bi-dual
Cᶜᵒᵒᵖwhere the directions of both the 1-morphisms and the 2-morphisms are reversed.
TODO #
- Define the 2-cell dual
Cᶜᵒ. - Provide various lemmas for going between
LocallyDiscrete Cᵒᵖand(LocallyDiscrete C)ᵒᵖ.
Note: Cᶜᵒᵒᵖ is WIP by Christian Merten.
Type synonym for 2-morphisms in the opposite bicategory.

The 1-cell dual bicategory Bᵒᵖ.
It is defined as follows.
- The objects of
Bᵒᵖcorrespond to objects ofB. - The morphisms
X ⟶ YinBᵒᵖare the morphismsY ⟶ XinB. - The 2-morphisms
f ⟶ ginBᵒᵖare the 2-morphismsf ⟶ ginB. In other words, the directions of the 2-morphisms are preserved.
