Hi all,

Of course this begs the obvious question, how hard is this to generalise to
bicategories?

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Gurksi's thesis, which I just came across.
Appendix A has details of adjunctions in bicategories, and biadjunctions in
tricategories, citing Verity's thesis in the case of Gray-categories.

Best,

David
