Abstract

For C\mathcal{C} a finite tensor category we consider four versions of the central monad, A1,,A4A_1, \dots, A_4 on C\mathcal{C}. Two of them are Hopf monads, and for C\mathcal{C} pivotal, so are the remaining two. In that case all AiA_i are isomorphic as Hopf monads. We define a monadic cointegral for AiA_i to be an AiA_i-module morphism 1Ai(D)\mathbf{1} \to A_i(D), where DD is the distinguished invertible object of C\mathcal{C}. We relate monadic cointegrals to the categorical cointegral introduced by Shimizu (2019), and, in case C\mathcal{C} is braided, to an integral for the braided Hopf algebra L=XXX\mathcal{L} = \int^X X^\vee \otimes X in C\mathcal{C} studied by Lyubashenko (1995). Our main motivation stems from the application to finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras HH. For the category of finite-dimensional HH-modules, we relate the four monadic cointegrals (two of which require HH to be pivotal) to four existing notions of cointegrals for quasi-Hopf algebras: the usual left/right cointegrals of Hausser and Nill (1994), as well as so-called γ\gamma-symmetrised cointegrals in the pivotal case, for γ\gamma the modulus of HH. For (not necessarily semisimple) modular tensor categories C\mathcal{C}, Lyubashenko gave actions of surface mapping class groups on certain Hom-spaces of C\mathcal{C}, in particular of SL(2,Z)SL(2,\mathbb{Z}) on C(L,1)\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{L},\mathbf{1}). In the case of a factorisable ribbon quasi-Hopf algebra, we give a simple expression for the action of SS and TT which uses the monadic cointegral.
