B\'enabou's theorem for pseudoadjunctions

Category Theory 2017-07-14 v1

Abstract

We give a formal account of B\'enabou's theorem for peudoadjunctions in the context of Gray-categories. We prove that to give a pseudoadjunction FU:AXF \dashv U: A \to X with unit η\eta in a Gray-category K is precisely to give an absolute left (Kan) pseudoextension UU of 1X1_X along FF witnessed by η\eta.
