Isbell adjunctions and Kan adjunctions via quantale-enriched two-variable adjunctions

Category Theory 2024-08-16 v2

Abstract

It is shown that every two-variable adjunction in categories enriched in a commutative quantale serves as a base for constructing Isbell adjunctions between functor categories, and Kan adjunctions are precisely Isbell adjunctions constructed from suitable associated two-variable adjunctions. Representation theorems are established for fixed points of these adjunctions.
