The "opposite category" is a functor Cat -> Cat.

The functors Hom(X,*) : C -> Set and Hom(*,X) : Cop -> Set.

Natural isomorphisms.

The product of two categories.

Given functors C->D or D->C, we get functors Cop x D -> Set.
If they're naturally isomorphic, call the functors adjoint.

Left adjoints of several forgetful functors. The right adjoint of forget : Top -> Set.
