We cannot speak of a natural isomorphism directly between FF and GG because natural isomorphisms compare functors with the same domain and codomain. Instead, the video reformulates the condition: FF and GG are adjoint if and only if the two curried hom-functors B(F(−),−)\mathcal{B}(F(-),-) and A(−,G(−))\mathcal{A}(-,G(-)), both mapping from Aop×B\mathcal{A}^{op} \times \mathcal{B} to SET, are naturally isomorphic.

Conditions: F:A→BF:\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{B} and G:B→AG:\mathcal{B}\to\mathcal{A}; Both sides are regarded as functors out of Aop×B\mathcal{A}^{op}\times\mathcal{B}; The natural isomorphism is between functors with the same domain and codomain

The symbol ≅\cong 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
