    A comparatively long and technical section “From hom-functors to units and counits” (on adjoint functors) was sitting inside the Idea-section of adjunction. It seemed plainly misplaced there, and distracting attention from what should be the content of this entry, as opposed to the entry adjoint functor. So I have moved it now to where it seems to belong: inside the Examples-section.

    The diagrams in Direct Definition do not seem to be rendering properly. (Not really my observation; I was alerted in a chat room at MO).

    Hmm, but maybe these should be in adjoint functor. We’re running this page adjunction as an abstract 2-categorical concept, although ’adjoint functors’ makes up a large chunk of the page as an example.

    Yeah, I have already done some harmonizing of the list of References to both entries. That’s just the way it is now. At least each References section is now alerting the reader to also look at the other.

    We should rewrite them in Tikz or xymatrix. I believe Urs already did so in one form at triangle identities, and I recall having done so myself in a different form somewhere, though I do not remember where just now; we can just copy the code over. (Edit: the ones I wrote are at left adjoint. I will fix this myself tomorrow if no-one gets to it before me.)

  11. Fixing a couple of diagrams.

  12. The ’Examples’ section on this page is rather a mess. Apart from the fact that the contents are mostly not really examples, it would be good if some industrious reader can re-work the material into some structure (proposition, proof, remark, example etc).

    Following Richard in #12 I have tried to bring the old material under “Examples – Adjoint functors” (here) into some shape: I have added Proposition/Example/Proof/Remark-environments and slightly adjusted the text here and there. (One could still improve the “Proof” to make the converse implication more explicit.)

    Ah, I thought the page adjunction was looking barer than I remembered; I didn’t recall that there were two pages.

    Right, it can be confusing. So I have added a disambiguation line to the very top of the entry, prominently pointing to the page adjoint functors.

    Also moved the paragraph on slice categories to there.

    tried to clean up the Definition-section (here)

    in particular I added the form of the zig-zag law as an equality of 2-morphisms

    and I moved the equivalent expression in terms of string diagrams to right after that inside the definition.

    also tried to streamline the Idea-section (here)

    The entry is still lacking an “original reference” for the notion of adjunction in general 2-categories, if such exists. Just in order to have at least one reference earlier that Johnson & Yau (2020), I have now added pointer to:
