The one-triangle adjunction idempotent splits if and only if G has a left adjoint. From a splitting Fr​Hs​F, define the new unit Grη and counit εsG​; the absorption identities imply both triangle identities for an adjunction. Conversely, for H⊣G with unit ψ:1⇒GH and counit φ:HG⇒1, the splitting maps are r=εH​Fψ and s=φF​Hη. Their composites are rs=1H​ and sr=e.
