Feb 21, 2020 at 14:55 comment added Pavel Čoupek However, it seems to be the case that either way, "creating isomorphisms" should also include reflecting them, so there is (should be) some difference between this notion and "injectivity on isom. classes."
Feb 21, 2020 at 14:50 comment added Pavel Čoupek @MartinBrandenburg I guess it depends on the definition of creating limits, there seems to be some debate around that as well: mathoverflow.net/questions/103065/… If you use Def. 1 in the above link, then I agree with what you are saying. If you use Def. 2, then it fits better this version (then the statement in both cases is "if it exists in the target, then it exists in the domain, and $F$ preserves it").
Feb 21, 2020 at 8:08 comment added Martin Brandenburg I am not sure if this analogy fits well. $F$ creates isomorphisms should mean that if $F(f)$ is inverse to $g$, then there is a unique morphism $f'$ with $g=F(f')$ such that $f$ is inverse to $f'$, right? In other words, $F$ is conservative.
