Synthetic topos theory
[003R] Proposition

Let TT be a base type theory. We work in TT. Let X1X_{1} and X2X_{2} be toposes and let f:X1X2f:X_{1}\rightarrow X_{2} be a morphism. If ff has a right adjoint, then ff is essential.

Proof

This is because the operation XS(X,i)X\mapsto \mathcal {S}(X,i) is 22-functorial and reverses 11-cells.
