Mates in bicategories #
This file establishes the bijection between the 2-cells
l₁ r₁
c --→ d c ←-- d
g ↓ ↗ ↓ h g ↓ ↘ ↓ h
e --→ f e ←-- f
l₂ r₂
where l₁ ⊣ r₁
and l₂ ⊣ r₂
. The corresponding natural transformations are called mates.
For the bicategory Cat

about mates.
Remarks #
To be precise, the definitions in Mathlib/CategoryTheory/Adjunction/Mates.lean
are universe
polymorphic, so they are not simple specializations of the definitions in this file.
Suppose we have a square of 1-morphisms (where the top and bottom are adjunctions l₁ ⊣ r₁
and l₂ ⊣ r₂
respectively).
c ↔ d
g ↓ ↓ h
e ↔ f
Then we have a bijection between natural transformations g ≫ l₂ ⟶ l₁ ≫ h
and
r₁ ≫ g ⟶ h ≫ r₂
. This can be seen as a bijection of the 2-cells:
l₁ r₁
c --→ d c ←-- d
g ↓ ↗ ↓ h g ↓ ↘ ↓ h
e --→ f e ←-- f
L₂ R₂
Note that if one of the transformations is an iso, it does not imply the other is an iso.
