Adjoint functor theorems for $\infty$-categories
Abstract
Adjoint functor theorems give necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to admit an adjoint. In this paper we prove general adjoint functor theorems for functors between -categories. One of our main results is an -categorical generalization of Freyd's classical General Adjoint Functor Theorem. As an application of this result, we recover Lurie's adjoint functor theorems for presentable -categories. We also discuss the comparison between adjunctions of -categories and homotopy adjunctions, and give a treatment of Brown representability for -categories based on Heller's purely categorical formulation of the classical Brown representability theorem.
