Adjoint lifting

This file gives two constructions for building left adjoints: the adjoint triangle theorem and the adjoint lifting theorem.

The adjoint triangle theorem concerns a functor U : B ⥤ C with a left adjoint F such that ε_X : FUX ⟶ X is a regular epi. Then for any category A with coequalizers of reflexive pairs, a functor R : A ⥤ B has a left adjoint if (and only if) the composite R ⋙ U does. Note that the condition on U regarding ε_X is automatically satisfied in the case when U is a monadic functor, giving the corollary: isRightAdjoint_triangle_lift_monadic, i.e. if U is monadic, A has reflexive coequalizers then R : A ⥤ B has a left adjoint provided R ⋙ U does.

The adjoint lifting theorem says that given a commutative square of functors (up to isomorphism):

      Q
    A → B
  U ↓   ↓ V
    C → D
      R

where V is monadic, U has a left adjoint, and A has reflexive coequalizers, then if R has a left adjoint then Q has a left adjoint.

Implementation

It is more convenient to prove this theorem by assuming we are given the explicit adjunction rather than just a functor known to be a right adjoint. In docstrings, we write (η, ε) for the unit and counit of the adjunction adj₁ : F ⊣ U and (ι, δ) for the unit and counit of the adjunction adj₂ : F' ⊣ R ⋙ U.

TODO

• Dualise to lift right adjoints through monads (by reversing 2-cells).
• Investigate whether it is possible to give a more explicit description of the lifted adjoint, especially in the case when the isomorphism comm is Iso.refl _

To show that ε_X is a coequalizer for (FUε_X, ε_FUX), it suffices to assume it's always a coequalizer of something (i.e. a regular epi).

(Implementation) To construct the left adjoint, we use the coequalizer of F' U ε_Y with the composite

F' U F U X ⟶ F' U F U R F U' X ⟶ F' U R F' U X ⟶ F' U X

where the first morphism is F' U F ι_UX, the second is F' U ε_RF'UX, and the third is δ_F'UX. We will show that this coequalizer exists and that it forms the object map for a left adjoint to R.

The adjoint triangle theorem: Suppose U : B ⥤ C has a left adjoint F such that each counit ε_X : FUX ⟶ X is a regular epimorphism. Then if a category A has coequalizers of reflexive pairs, then a functor R : A ⥤ B has a left adjoint if the composite R ⋙ U does.

Note the converse is true (with weaker assumptions), by Adjunction.comp. See https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/adjoint+triangle+theorem

If R ⋙ U has a left adjoint, the domain of R has reflexive coequalizers and U is a monadic functor, then R has a left adjoint. This is a special case of isRightAdjoint_triangle_lift which is often more useful in practice.

      R

where U has a left adjoint, A has reflexive coequalizers and V has a left adjoint such that each component of the counit is a regular epi. Then Q has a left adjoint if R has a left adjoint.
