Quasi-equivalences of differential graded categories #

A DG functor is quasi-fully faithful when it induces a quasi-isomorphism on every Hom complex. A quasi-equivalence additionally reaches every target object up to isomorphism in the homotopy category. Full DG subcategories furnish a basic example: their inclusions are quasi-equivalences exactly when each ambient object is isomorphic in H⁰ to an object of the subcategory.

On homotopy categories, a quasi-fully faithful DG functor F induces a fully faithful functor H⁰(F), and a quasi-equivalence induces an equivalence H⁰(C) ≌ H⁰(D). The converse fails: H⁰(F) only sees the degree-zero cohomology of the Hom complexes.
