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.

Enriched adjoint functor theorem for cotensored categories

Statement

Assume A and B are tensored and cotensored V-categories. For an ordinary adjunction F0G0 between their underlying categories, the following data are equivalent:

  1. an enriched adjunction FVG whose underlying adjunction is the given one;
  2. a V-functor structure on G together with coherent natural isomorphisms G(XB)XG(B).

Dually, this is equivalent to a V-functor structure on F together with coherent natural isomorphisms F(XA)XF(A).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Tensored and cotensored V-categories and an ordinary adjunction on their underlying categories.

[L1]

An enriched adjunction is an isomorphism of enriched hom-objects natural in both variables (Enriched adjunction).

[L2]

Cotensors are represented by the enriched hom-objects against base objects (Tensor and cotensor in a V-category).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Assume first that FVG is an enriched adjunction. Applying the hom-object isomorphism of [L1] to the cotensor object XB and then reading the cotensor universal properties from [L2] shows that G(XB) represents the same functor as XGB. Therefore G preserves cotensors.

1.2

Conversely, assume G has the stated V-functor structure and coherent cotensor-preservation isomorphisms. For each base object X, the ordinary adjunction identifies maps FAXB with maps AG(XB). Cotensor preservation rewrites the target as AXGB, and applying the cotensor representing property of [L2] again converts this into maps XA(A,GB) naturally in X. By Yoneda in the base, these natural bijections determine a V-natural isomorphism B(FA,B)A(A,GB), giving [L1] and the compatible enriched structure on F.

2.1

Thus a coherent enriched structure on the right adjoint together with cotensor preservation is equivalent to lifting the underlying adjunction to an enriched one. The tensor statement is dual.
