Monoidal categories with canonical left-strengths of monads

It is well-known that every monad on Set is left-strong and that left-strength on a Set-monad is unique. Is there an abstract characterization of monoidal categories $C$ for which every monad on $C$ ...

Yetter-Drinfeld modules for Hopf monads

1. Context. 1.1. Classical Yetter-Drinfeld modules. Let $H$ a bialgebra in a braided monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$. A left-right Yetter-Drinfeld module over $H$ is a triple $(V,\rho,\Delta)$ ...

Separable monads do not induce separable monoids

Let us first recall the categorical notion of monad: if we have a category $\mathcal{C}$ then a monad on it consists in an endofunctor $\mathbb{A}\colon \mathcal{C}\rightarrow \mathcal{C}$ together ...

The Kleisli category of a monoidal monad

Let $C$ be a symmetric monoidal category equipped with diagonals $\triangle_x: x \to x \otimes x$, that is, equipped with natural transformations $e_x: x \to 1$ and $\triangle_x : x \to x \otimes x $ ...

Internal commutative monoid gives commutative monad

Let $(C,\otimes,1)$ be a symmetric monoidal category. Let $(M,\mu,\eta)$ be an internal commutative monoid object. The functor $X\mapsto M\otimes X$ has a canonical monad structure, with unit and ...

What are the (co)algebras for the $(\operatorname{Hom}(A,-), A\otimes-)$ adjunction (co)monad?

A module $A$ over a commutative ring $k$ gives a pair of adjoint endofunctors, $(A\otimes_k-)$ left adjoint to $\operatorname{Hom}_k(A,-)$. They produce a monad $T_A$ and a comonad $C_A$. Is there any ...

Monad induced by actegory

It seems to be folklore that if we have an actegory, i.e. a monoidal functor from a monoidal category $C$ to an endofunctor category $Cat(D,D)$, we can obtain from it a monad on $D$. This appears for ...

Monads which are monoidal and opmonoidal

Do monads which are monoidal and opmonoidal have a name? (Bimonoidal?) In case they have already been studied, who can point me to a reference? More in detail. Let $(C,\otimes)$ be a symmetric (or ...

When is an Eilenberg-Moore category or Kleisli category braided monoidal? When semisimple?

I have a braided monoidal, semisimple linear category $\mathcal{C}$. (Imagine representations of a semisimple quasitriangular Hopf algebra.) I also have a monad $(T,\mu,\eta)$ on it, however, $T$ is ...

Compatibility between strength and costrength of a monoidal monad

Let $C$ be a closed monoidal category, and let $T : C \to C$ be a monad on the underlying category. Let $\sigma$ be a tensorial strength of $T$ and let $\sigma'$ be a cotensorial strength of $T$. A ...

Seems like Reader monad composed with a strong monad produces a monad, am I right?

Take a Cartesian (or monoidal) closed category; define Reader monad for a given object $E$ as $X \mapsto X^E$; and take a strong monad $M$ (strong means preserves product or tensor product). Now the ...
