Equivalences are defined in any 2-category, and we just apply it to the special example of the (strict) 2-category of tensor categories. (1) is not the "correct" definition, it is a characterization, or actually a theorem (using (2) as a definition) that the forgetful 2-functor from tensor categories to categories is 2-conservative - a categorification of the statement that the forgetful functor from monoids to sets is conservative. | |
