Order Theory
Adjoint functors are pairs of functors that stand in a specific relationship to each other, where one functor can be seen as a generalization of the other. This relationship is often expressed through a Galois connection, where one functor is left adjoint and the other is right adjoint. In this context, adjoint functors help in understanding structures and properties across different categories, providing insights into both algebraic structures and their applications.
