چکیده
It is shown that, for a small quantaloid Q, the category of small Q-categories and Q-functors is total and cototal, and so is the category of Q-distributors and Q-Chu transforms.

Categorical Structures Enriched in a Quantaloid: Categories, Distributors and Functors
We thoroughly treat several familiar and less familiar definitions and results concerning categories, functors and distributors enriched in a base quantaloidQ. In analogy with V-category theory we discuss such things as adjoint functors, (pointwise) left Kan extensions, weighted (co)limits, presheaves and free (co)completion, Cauchy completion and Morita equivalence. With an appendix on the uni...
متن کاملCategorical Structures Enriched in a Quantaloid: Tensored and Cotensored Categories
A quantaloid is a sup-lattice-enriched category; our subject is that of categories, functors and distributors enriched in a base quantaloid Q. We show how cocomplete Q-categories are precisely those which are tensored and conically cocomplete, or alternatively, those which are tensored, cotensored and ‘order-cocomplete’. In fact, tensors and cotensors in a Q-category determine, and are determin...
متن کاملChu connections and back diagonals between $\mathcal{Q}$-distributors
Chu connections and back diagonals are introduced as morphisms for distributors between categories enriched in a small quantaloid Q. These constructions, meaningful for closed bicategories, are dual to that of arrow categories and the Freyd completion of categories. It is shown that, for a small quantaloid Q, the category of complete Q-categories and left adjoints is a retract of the dual of th...
متن کاملChu connections and back diagonals between Q-distributors
Chu connections and back diagonals are introduced as morphisms for distributors between categories enriched in a small quantaloid Q. These notions, meaningful for closed bicategories, dualize the constructions of arrow categories and the Freyd completion of categories. It is shown that, for a small quantaloid Q, the category of complete Q-categories and left adjoints is a retract of the dual of...
متن کاملCategories Enriched over a Quantaloid: Isbell Adjunctions and Kan Adjunctions
Each distributor between categories enriched over a small quantaloid Q gives rise to two adjunctions between the categories of contravariant and covariant presheaves, and hence to two monads. These two adjunctions are respectively generalizations of Isbell adjunctions and Kan extensions in category theory. It is proved that these two processes are functorial with infomorphisms playing as morphi...
