Subject: biadjoint biequivalence
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:54:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1KVUY5-0005Z2-7K@mailserv.mta.ca> (raw)

Dear Categorists -

I know someone who needs to construct a "biadjoint biequivalence"
between bicategories, and is not relishing the task.

If somebody was trying to construct an adjoint equivalence between
categories, and was not relishing the task, I might suggest that they
construct an equivalence, and then use the theorem that any equivalence
can be improved to an adjoint equivalence.

Has someone proved that any biequivalence between bicategories
can be improved to a biadjoint biequivalence?

Best,
jb
