How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Co-Kleisli and co-Eilenberg–Moore adjunctions have the dual extremal universal properties
Statement
Fix a comonad on . Among supplied adjunctions inducing on the nose, the co-Kleisli adjunction has the schematic initial universal property and the co-Eilenberg–Moore adjunction has the schematic terminal universal property: every such adjunction admits a unique morphism of adjunctions from the co-Kleisli resolution and a unique morphism of adjunctions to the co-Eilenberg–Moore resolution, with the corresponding equalities over the base categories.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A comonad and an adjunction inducing .
The co-Eilenberg–Moore adjunction induces (The cofree–forgetful co-Eilenberg–Moore adjunction induces the given comonad).
The co-Kleisli adjunction induces (The co-Kleisli adjunction induces the given comonad).
For a fixed monad, every supplied adjunction inducing it admits a unique morphism of adjunctions from the Kleisli adjunction and a unique morphism of adjunctions to the Eilenberg–Moore adjunction; Kleisli has the schematic initial universal property and Eilenberg–Moore the schematic terminal one (Kleisli and Eilenberg–Moore adjunctions have the extremal universal properties).
Proof
Regard as a monad on the opposite category and apply [L3] there.
An adjunction inducing on becomes inducing that monad on , and under this translation the Kleisli and Eilenberg–Moore resolutions of the latter are the co-Kleisli and co-Eilenberg–Moore adjunctions of [L1]–[L2]. A morphism of adjunctions is a functor between their intermediate categories, and passing to opposite categories carries such a functor to , which runs between the same two adjunctions in the same order. The two comparison directions are therefore preserved rather than reversed, so the initial property stays with co-Kleisli and the terminal one with co-Eilenberg–Moore.
Transporting the two universal properties of [L3] back along this translation gives, for every supplied adjunction inducing , a unique morphism of adjunctions from the co-Kleisli resolution and a unique morphism of adjunctions to the co-Eilenberg–Moore resolution, with the required equalities over the base categories. This assertion quantifies over supplied data and does not require a category of all such adjunctions.
