<p>Hello everyone, I am a newbie to the category theory. While reading some paper about infinite Galois theory, the 'anti-equivalence' of two categories showed up. Could anyone give me a 'good' explanation what this means? Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>All it means that one of the categories is equivalent to the opposite of the other.</p> <p>Wikipedia has informative pages on opposites of categories and equivalences of categories:</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite_%28category_theory%29" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite_%28category_theory%29</a> ,</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_of_categories" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_of_categories</a> .</p>
