The adjoint-category functor conjecture
The adjoint-category functor conjecture
Let be the category of finite-dimensional real vector spaces and injective linear maps, and let denote the -category of -categories with adjoints. For each inclusion as the first coordinates, let forget all non-invertible morphisms of dimension greater than . The adjoint-category functor conjecture. There is a functor
sending to and the inclusion to . The conjecture is motivated by the expected graphical calculus for categories with adjoints, and is known in the restriction to dimensions at most two and -categories, but remains unproved in general.
