Adjunctions as Kan extensions #

We show that adjunctions are realized as Kan extensions or Kan lifts.

We also show that a left adjoint commutes with a left Kan extension. Under the assumption that IsLeftAdjoint h, the isomorphism f⁺ (g ≫ h) ≅ f⁺ g ≫ h can be accessed by Lan.CommuteWith.lanCompIso f g h.

At the moment, the results are stated for left Kan extensions and left Kan lifts. We can prove the similar results for right Kan extensions and right Kan lifts.

def CategoryTheory.Bicategory.Adjunction.isAbsoluteLeftKan {B : Type u} [Bicategory B] {a b : B} {f : a b} {u : b a} (adj : Adjunction f u) :

For an adjuntion f ⊣ u, u is an absolute left Kan extension of the identity along f. The unit of this Kan extension is given by the unit of the adjunction.
