Tensor-hom adjunction

Tensor-hom adjunction

The tensor-hom adjunction; in computer science the analogous concept is called currying.

tatement

The functors - otimes X and operatorname{Hom}(X,-)form an adjoint pair::operatorname{Hom}(Y otimes X, Z) = operatorname{Hom}(Y,operatorname{Hom}(X,Z))

Nomenclature

The order "tensor-hom adjunction" is because tensor is the left adjoint, while hom is the right adjoint.
