Essentially surjective functor

In mathematics, specifically in category theory, a functor

F : C → D {\displaystyle F:C\to D}

is essentially surjective if each object d {\displaystyle d} of D {\displaystyle D} is isomorphic to an object of the form F c {\displaystyle Fc} for some object c {\displaystyle c} of C {\displaystyle C} .

Any functor that is part of an equivalence of categories is essentially surjective. As a partial converse, any full and faithful functor that is essentially surjective is part of an equivalence of categories.
