Comonadic adjunctions🔗
An adjunction
between functors
and
is comonadic if the induced comparison functor
(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.

adjunction unit natural transformation
gives L a Coalgebra structure, thus extending
L to a functor
