Abstract
Given an operad , we define a notion of weak -monoids -- which we term -pseudomonoids -- in a 2-category. In the special case with the 2-category in question is the 2-category of categories, this yields a notion of -monoidal category, which in the case of the associative and commutative operads retrieves unbiased notions of monoidal and symmetric monoidal categories, respectively. We carefully unpack the definition of -monoids in the 2-categories of discrete fibrations and of category-indexed sets. Using the classical Grothendieck construction, we thereby obtain an -monoidal Grothendieck construction relating lax -monoidal functors into Set to strict -monoidal functors which are also discrete fibrations.
