Comonadic adjunctions🔗

An adjunction $L ⊣ R$ between functors $L : C \to D$ and $R : D \to C$ is comonadic if the induced comparison functor $C \to C^{L \circ R}$ (where the right-hand side is the category of Coalgebras of the comonad of the adjunction) is an equivalence of categories. This dualises the theory of monadic adjunctions.

The composition of L.₁ with the adjunction unit natural transformation gives L a Coalgebra structure, thus extending L to a functor $C \to C^{L \circ R} .$

Comparison-CoEM : Functor C (Coalgebras L∘R)
Comparison-CoEM .F₀ x = L.₀ x , alg where
  alg : Coalgebra-on L∘R (L.₀ x)
  alg .Coalgebra-on.ρ = L.₁ (adj.unit.η _)
  alg .Coalgebra-on.ρ-counit = adj.zig
  alg .Coalgebra-on.ρ-comult = L.weave (sym (adj.unit.is-natural _ _ _))

Construction of the functorial action of Comparison-CoEM

Comparison-CoEM .F₁ x .hom = L.₁ x
Comparison-CoEM .F₁ x .preserves = L.weave (sym (adj.unit.is-natural _ _ _))
Comparison-CoEM .F-id    = ext L.F-id
Comparison-CoEM .F-∘ f g = ext (L.F-∘ _ _)

An adjunction is comonadic if Comparison-CoEM is an equivalence of categories, thus exhibiting $C$ as the category of $L \circ R -coalgebras:$
