A category may bear many monoidal structures, but (to within a unique isomorphism) only one structure of "category with finite products". To capture such distinctions, we consider on a 2-category those 2-monads for which algebra structure is essentially unique if it exists, giving a precise mathematical definition of "essentially unique" and investigating its consequences. We call such 2-monads property-like. We further consider the more restricted class of fully property-like 2-monads…

Enhanced 2-categories and limits for lax morphisms

Distributive Laws via Admissibility

This paper concerns the problem of lifting a KZ doctrine P to the 2-category of pseudo T-algebras for some pseudomonad T. Here we show that this problem is equivalent to giving a pseudo-distributive…

Distributive Laws via Admissibility

It is shown that this problem of lifting a KZ doctrine P to the 2-category of pseudo T-algebras for some pseudomonad T is equivalent to giving a pseudo-distributive law, and that such distributive laws may be simply described algebraically and are essentially unique.

We prove 2-categorical conservativity for any {0,⊤}-free fragment of MALL over its corresponding intuitionistic version: that is, that the universal map from a closed symmetric monoidal category to…

Probability, valuations, hyperspace: Three monads on Top and the support as a morphism

It is obtained that taking the support of a $\tau$-smooth probability measure is also given by a morphism of monads, which implies that every H- algebra (topological complete semilattice) is also a V-algebra.

Fibrations of predicates and bicategories of relations

We reconcile the two different category-theoretic semantics of regular theories in predicate logic. A 2-category of `regular fibrations' is constructed, as well as a 2-category of `regular proarrow…

TIGHTLY BOUNDED COMPLETIONS

By a 'completion' on a 2-category K we mean here an idempotent pseu- domonad on K. We are particularly interested in pseudomonads that arise from KZ- doctrines. Motivated by a question of Lawvere, we…

ON THE MONADICITY OF CATEGORIES WITH CHOSEN COLIMITS

There is a 2-category J -Colim of small categories equipped with a choice of colimit for each diagram whose domain J lies in a given small class J of small categories, functors strictly preserving…

Many problems lead to the consideration of “algebras”, given by an object A of a category A together with “actions” TkA → A on A of one or more endofunctors of A, subjected to equational axioms. Such…

The author worked out a general notion of “club”, as a monad with certain properties, not necessarily on Cat now, but on any category with finite limits, which was further developed in [13], and applied later to other coherence problems in [16] and elsewhere.
