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 G on C. Among supplied adjunctions inducing G 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 G and an adjunction inducing G.

[L1]
[L2]

The co-Kleisli adjunction induces G (The co-Kleisli adjunction induces the given comonad).

[L3]

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

technique · direct
1.1

Regard G as a monad on the opposite category and apply [L3] there.

L3
2.1

An adjunction LR inducing G on C becomes RopLop inducing that monad on Cop, 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 K to Kop, 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.

L1L2step 1.1
3.1

Transporting the two universal properties of [L3] back along this translation gives, for every supplied adjunction inducing G, 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.
