The symbol ≅ denotes an isomorphism in the category of sets, which means it is simply a bijection between the two hom-sets. Because hom-sets are sets, their isomorphisms are bijective functions.
Conditions: The compared objects are hom-sets; The ambient category for the isomorphism is the category of sets

For functors F:A→B and G:B→A, F is left adjoint to G (written F⊣G) if there is a natural isomorphism between the hom-set B(F(A),B) and the hom-set A(A,G(B)) for all objects A∈A and B∈B. The video emphasizes that an adjunction is a chosen natural isomorphism, not just an abstract existence claim.
Conditions: F is a functor A→B; G is a functor B→A; A is an object of A; B is an object of B; The isomorphism is natural in both A and B
