Splitting a one-triangle adjunction idempotent
ID: splitting-a-one-triangle-adjunction-idempotent
The one-triangle adjunction idempotent splits if and only if has a left adjoint. From a splitting , define the new unit and counit ; the absorption identities imply both triangle identities for an adjunction. Conversely, for with unit and counit , the splitting maps are and . Their composites are and .
