Fixed points of adjoint functors enriched in a quantaloid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Representation theorems are established for fixed points of adjoint functors between categories enriched in a small quantaloid. In a very general setting these results set up a common framework for representation theorems of concept lattices in formal concept analysis (FCA) and rough set theory (RST), which not only extend the realm of formal contexts to multi-typed and multi-valued ones, but also provide a general approach to construct various kinds of representation theorems. Besides incorporating several well-known representation theorems in FCA and RST as well as formulating new ones, it is shown that concept lattices in RST can always be represented as those in FCA through relative pseudo-complements of the given contexts, especially if the contexts are valued in a non-Girard quantaloid.

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 کاملExponentiable Functors Between Quantaloid-Enriched Categories
Exponentiable functors between quantaloid-enriched categories are characterized in elementary terms. The proof goes as follows: the elementary conditions on a given functor translate into existence statements for certain adjoints that obey some lax commutativity; this, in turn, is precisely what is needed to prove the existence of partial products with that functor; so that the functor’s expone...
متن کاملLimits and Colimits of Quantaloid-enriched Categories and Their Distributors
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.
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...
متن کاملLax Distributive Laws for Topology, I
For a quantaloid Q, considered as a bicategory, Walters introduced categories enriched in Q. Here we extend the study of monad-quantale-enriched categories of the past fifteen years by introducing monad-quantaloid-enriched categories. We do so by making lax distributive laws of a monad T over the discrete presheaf monad of the small quantaloid Q the primary data of the theory, rather than the l...
