Example of a pseudomonad on Cat whose pseudoalgebras are not the pseudoalgebras for a 2-monad

For every pseudomonad $T$ on the 2-category of (locally small) categories $\mathbf{Cat}$, we can consider the 2-category of $T$-pseudoalgebras and pseudomorphisms $T\text{-PsAlg}_p$, which is equipped ...

2-monads for categories with a class of (co)limits

This question concerns the strictness of (co)completions, at various levels of generality. In Blackwell–Kelly–Power's Two-dimensional monad theory, the authors state For instance, the 2-category $\...

Coherence for pseudomonads and their pseudoalgebras

Let $\mathcal K$ be a bicategory. For every pseudomonad $T : \mathcal K \to \mathcal K$, does there exist a 2-monad $S : \mathcal C \to \mathcal C$, where $\mathcal C$ is a 2-category biequivalent to $...

Coherence laws when composing 2-monads

To have the composition of two monads be a monad itself, we need a distributive law natural transformation satisfying certain coherence laws. I'm interested in the strict 2-monad case, i.e. a strict ...
