Opposites of morphism ideals #
Taking opposites reverses every morphism in a two-sided ideal. This operation is involutive, and the quotient by the opposite ideal is canonically equivalent to the opposite of the quotient. The equivalence identifies the class of an opposite morphism with the opposite of its class.
This lets constructions expressed as additive ideal quotients pass between a category and its opposite. In particular, stable quotients defined using projective objects can be compared with the corresponding quotients defined using injective objects on the opposite category.

I.
Equations
- I.op = { hom := fun (X Y : Cᵒᵖ) => AddSubgroup.comap (CategoryTheory.unopHom X Y) (I.hom (Opposite.unop Y) (Opposite.unop X)), comp_mem_left := ⋯, comp_mem_right := ⋯ }

Lifting the opposite quotient functor gives an equivalence whenever the source ideal is the opposite ideal. This formulation permits a different presentation of the source ideal.
