An adjoint is a concept in category theory that relates two functors, specifically a pair of functors that go in opposite directions between categories. When one functor is left adjoint to another, it intuitively means that the left adjoint can be seen as a 'best approximation' of certain objects from the right category to the left. This concept plays a critical role in understanding how structures relate and interact within topoi and sheaf theory.
congrats on reading the definition of Adjoint. now let's actually learn it.
