Every profunctor
defines a category with and
This category naturally comes with a functor to the interval category
Now, every functor induces a profunctor
and every functor induces a profunctor
The functors and are adjoint precisely if the profunctors that they define in the above way are equal. This in turn is the case if .
We say that is the cograph of the functor . See there for more on this.
The above characterization of adjoint functors in terms of categories over the interval is used in section 5.2.2 of
(motivated from the discussion of correspondences in section 2.3.1)
to give a definition of adjunction between (infinity,1)-functors.
Let and be quasi-categories. An adjunction between and is
a morphism of simplicial sets
which is
such that and .

Let be a reflective subcategory of a topos such that the monad is cartesian? (i.e. preserves pullbacks).
Then is a topos and preserves finite limits (i.e. is a geometric morphism).
The following lemma improves on the statement
Let be a reflective subcategory of a topos.
Then is a topos if preserves pullbacks in the image of where
is the left adjoint of the Yoneda embedding of .
is the left Kan extension of along the Yoneda embedding of .
The Yoneda embeddings of and both posess left adjoints: and are total: Since is a topos, is total, since is a reflective subcategory of a total category is total. By the adjoint functor theorem for total categories this implies that the Yoneda embeddings of and both posess left adjoints.
We have . If this composite is left exact it exhibits as a left exact localization of a category of presheaves and hence in this case is a topos.
sends colimits to limits, since (as every Yoneda extension) commutes with colimits and as a left adjoint sends colimits to limits.
Hence is left exact iff preserves limits in the image of .
Since a reflector always preserves terminal objects (and all finite limits can be constructed from pullbacks and the terminal object), it is sufficient to check if preserves pullbacks in the image of .
Every subcategory of a category of presheaves which is reflective and coreflective is itself a category of presheaves (this is quoted at reflective subcategory? as Bashir Velebil). In particular is a topos.)
(1) The following statements are equivalent:
is a reflective factorization system in .
There is a reflective subcategory with reflector , is the class of morphisms whose -image is invertible in , and .
is a factorization system and satisfies 2-out -of-3.
is a factorization system and is the class of fibrant morphisms which as dependent types satisfy .
For every -morphism satisfying: and are contractible, also for all we have is contractible.
(2) The following statements are equivalent:
is a factorization system in .
The class is pullback-stable where means that each reflection is defined by -factorization.
is a pullback-stable system of reflective subcategories of slices of , and for every the class of objects of is closed under composition.
The class of types satisfying is closed under dependent sums.
(3) The following statements are equivalent:
is a pullback-stable system of reflective subcategories of slices of , for every the class of objects of is closed under composition, and all reflectors commute with pullbacks.
The (by (2)) to corresponding factorization system is pullback stable.
A Lawvere–Tierney topology in is (internally?) a closure operator? given by a left exact? idempotent monad on the internal meet-semilattice? .
This means that: a Lawvere–Tierney topology in is a morphism?
such that
, equivalently (‘if is true, then is locally true’)
(? is locally locally true iff is locally true’);
(? is locally true iff and are each locally true’)
Here is the internal partial order? on , and is the internal meet?.
This appears for instance as (MacLaneMoerdijk, V 1.).
