Constructing symmetric monoidal bicategories

Category Theory 2010-04-08 v1

Abstract

We present a method of constructing symmetric monoidal bicategories from symmetric monoidal double categories that satisfy a lifting condition. Such symmetric monoidal double categories frequently occur in nature, so the method is widely applicable, though not universally so.
